Life Time

Another night in any town
You can hear the thunder of their cry
Ahead of their time
They wonder why
--Journey

When we are young, we feel that we'll live forever. Time seems abundant, not precious. We pay less attention to what we do with it since it seems, literally, that we have all the time in the world.

As we age, we become increasingly aware that not only is time a scarce resource, but it is the ultimate scarce resource. Our time here is not infinite. In fact, it is not certain how much time we have left. Our time could end today.

The older we get, the greater the innuendo of time's scarcity.

God is talking to us. He is reminding us that life is His greatest gift. Don't squander it because you don't know how much you have left.

He is also telling us that it is never too late to begin making the most of our life time.
