"Lord, make me to know my end, and what is the measure of my days, that I may know how frail I am. - Psalm 39:4

Time flys....in one direction; AWAY FROM YOU! :) (another sign I noticed on a church marquee sign this week!). But, HOW TRUE! Does time really fly? OR do we? perhaps, a little of both. 60 seconds can take forever, (for instance when holding your breath trying to get rid of your hicups), or, it can not be long enough (when trying to get everything done, either in the morning getting ready for work, or at night getting all the days work done before going to bed!) :)
"Show me , O Lord, my life's end and the number of my days; let me know how fleeting is my life. You have made my days a mere handbreadth; the span of my years is as nothing before you. Each man's life is but a breath. Man is a mere phantom as he goes to and fro: he heaps up wealth, not knowing who will get it. " Psalms 39: 4-6 Hum! Not knowing who will get it? Amazing. I run around, exactly like these bible verses explain! I feel a reasoning to my insain rat race daily. Keeping my house clean for a three year old to play in, (sweeping dust from floors, wiping finger prints off the walls, picking up granola bars that weren't finished found in the toy box, and chairs, dirty clothes put in their homes, so they aren't mistakenly clean by my significant other, and worn again by a three year old, ironing for the next day, and on and on. ). Is there really a significance to my wearing my self out? Or maybe I need to STOP and allow myself to count each second, and not worry about my surrounding? This is something I have got to PRAY about! Seriously. I hear people complain b/c people are late, and they can't stand late people....WELL....then you can't stand me! (b/c I am ALWAYS getting something else done) I have a problem here. I have discovered this. Tripping on this bible verse during a daily devotion, I realized that I need to fix this problem. So, I will Pray about it! and go from there. We'll see if there will be an answer! I know it will be no quick fix, but with Gods help, he will allow me to realize, that my fleeting life is for him to control, then I will realized he does have my days numbered, and I need to get them fixed so that I can enjoy my family, and friends and work more. Because soon, (sooner than ANYONE of know) I may not have the privilage to do just that on earth as we see it. Then MY loved ones will have only known me to be late, and always working in my house.
