The Frailty of Life

For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. James 4:14

Dear Lord,

Life is spinning by at an alarmingly fast pace. It seems just yesterday I was seventeen, getting married, and my mother was my age. Today she is fast approaching her twilight years and I am realizing how quickly we will all stand before the Your throne. At one point in life it was easy to believe that day was far off. How foolish I was and how grateful I am for Your steadfast patience and mercy. Thank you, Father, for removing those scales from my eyes and giving me sight. May I call to mind each day the frailty of life, the glory of my Eternal Father, and Your never ending love.

Amen
