Another Christmas season has come and gone. In the Christmas program at our church this year I played the part of a Grandfather. Reflecting back, it seemed quite recent to me that I had played the part of a shepherd boy. In a somber moment, I realized it was not that recent. Wow! Where does the time go? I am reminded of a poetic phrase I heard somewhere; “One life to live, will soon be past. Only what’s done for Christ will last.”
The following is reprinted from a previous blog…
There Are But Two
I suppose all men of the earth
as they grow old and gray,
will in their twilight years pause
and in full agreement say,
That as they reflect upon their past regrets
they find they have but two;
things done, they should not have done
and things needing done, they did not do.
(thanks, Mama)
