Tonight is
my middle daughter’s end of year banquet for her dance team. It’s her senior year so this is our last
one. I didn’t plan on it happening so
fast. Not the banquet, but the whole
thing. Last time I looked she was 5
years old and dancing in the living room in her princess costume. Now she is a young lady getting ready for
college. I know. I’m not the first or the last parent to
suggest time moves quickly. I know. “Smell
the roses” is so clichéd. But this one
is for me, I guess- a reminder to myself. (BTW – I turn 50 this year, so it won’t be the
last time I spend some time reflecting J)
We don’t think much about the
future or the passing of days. We tend
to get buried in the moment. But the
future comes quickly. My friend Craig
says, “Days move slowly and years go quickly.”
Very astute observation and I have found it so true. The Bible teaches us to value our days. I need to do a better job of that. How about you?
Well, I’m off to the banquet. It
will be fun but don’t think for a moment, that I won’t spend at least part of
it back in our living room watching my 5 year old dance the dance. And I will end the day thanking God for
another good day.
