Sand and The Hour Glass

Time and change are inextricably intertwined - at least in this present age this is true. Their relationship is indissoluble. Time passes and there is change. Change occurs and time has passed. It can be no other way. The sun moves across the sky, continually shifting position. With the change the day passes away and we grow older. We accept this. This is our world.

Some change is welcome; some is not. One day we are wishing time away; another day we would will it to stand still.

By His grace we adjust to change. Recognizing the vanity of this life leads us on a quest for something more lasting, something eternal, if you will. And hopefully with the passing of time, the difficulty of change, the acknowledgement of desiring something better, we will learn to look to Him.

Oh, if we would always look to Him. Perhaps then we would be like Paul and say that our best and finest hope is to be present with the Lord. All else pales in comparison.

Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today and forever. Hebrews 13.8

Sometimes it is just a bit scary and a little sad to watch us grow older and watch things change. Thank you for this... I needed to read that. How is Christmastime at the Sinclair's this year?

Amen! These days it seems I am constantly reminding myself of this, and refocusing my vision. It can be tiring at times, and I wish it would be easier and go faster, but without Him I would never get through these seasons of moving.
