'THE DAYS OF OUR LIVES"

Since I just celebrated my birthday,yesterday, I am more aware of the fact that "time waits for no one".  Looking back at pix from last year compared to this year-I can see how much older I look.  I was blessed to have lunch at a local tea room with my friend/neighbor and her 19 yr. old daughter.  That night my sweet hubby took me out for a wonderful dinner, then I was treated to a "combined" birthday party with cake and ice cream by another neighbor/friend for me and her l7 year old daughter.  I call her "my little twin" since we have the same birthday.  Everytime I realize I am 40 years older than her, I am made keenly aware of how old I'm getting!  It seems like yesterday that those two sweet girls were toddlers. 

When I reflect on all of this, I am convicted to use what time God gives me on this earth more wisely.  I tend to waste alot of time (mostly on Facebook these days, LOL!).  I need to spend more time reading God's word and books that will make me stronger spiritually.  Also, I need to be doing more for others.  I need to spend more time with family and friends and go places I've always intended to go.

The word "days" appears more than 500 times in Scripture-did you know that?  Let's make the most of the days God has given us!

"This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it."  Psalm  118:24
