THE BREVITY OF LIFE


"life is liken a vapor that passes away . . .

Human existence in this world is extremely brief. It is like a flower which blooms for a while, like a shadow which disappears when the sun rises. Today our life span is more or less 60 and because of modern medicine it may extend to 80 yet is their strength and labor and sorrow: for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. We often say, oh, how time flies but in reality, time stays and we are the ones who fly away. Hardly are we born when we begin to die. The countdown starts the moment we commence lifes journey.

Be aware that TODAY is the first day of the rest of your life. Such being the case, let us pray that the Lord will teach us to number our days that we may apply our heart unto wisdom.
