birthday

     Today is my spouse’s birthday.  As a part of the celebration of that day we are going to go out and eat and then go to a concert later in the evening.  I am looking forward to the celebration.  I am most thankful for Phyllis and how she has enriched my life.  But as I reflect on her birthday I wonder where the time has gone.  I have a difficult time believing how old I am.  In my mind I still think of myself as young but when I look at the calendar I know my youth is long gone.  

     Realizing that life goes by so quickly causes me to be thankful for each day of life that God has given to me.  Hence I want to live fully aware that each moment is a time to not be wasted but to be used wisely and joyfully.  With each passing day I want to be more fully aware of God’s goodness that is all around me.  Today I am asking God to make me not just older but wise.  And the Bible has taught me that wisdom is knowing God.
