LIFE IS SHORT

1 Peter 1:24-25
24 As the prophet says, "People are like grass that dies away; their beauty fades as quickly as the beauty of wildflowers. The grass withers, and the flowers fall away. 25 But the word of the Lord will last forever." And that word is the Good News that was preached to you. NLT** How quickly life passes by. Ok, Ok, I know what you’re thinking….. I thought the same thing many many years ago when the “older” people would say…. “It seems like yesterday when….” And now I’m getting older and I can truly say….”It seems like yesterday when….” Life seems so short and especially now that I’m 50 and all the people I used to watch on the TV when I was a kid are now dying off. Soon I will be that generation if the Lord does not come back, that will be passing on. I don’t want to seem morbid or anything like that but it is going to happen and I want to leave something with those I’ve lived with before I go. We can ignore death and before long we will die and leave nothing for those who’s lives we impacted, OR we can be aware that life is but a vapor and we must prepare to leave a great legacy to our children, friends and people who God places in our paths.
