I am REALLY not that fond of hearing myself say things that sound like my parents and grandparents of 50 years ago, but it seems to be creeping upon me with increasing regularity! (And at my age regularity is a GOOD thing…)
What got me going this time was the thought: “Well, another year gone by and what did I accomplish financially?” That got me to thinking about how the “old timers” would always talk about how time seemed to go faster with each passing year.
Well, OK Grandparents, Great Aunts and Uncles, Mom and Dad etc., You were right, it DOES seem to pass more quickly as we get older!
Not that I ever really doubted you, I just couldn’t relate to what you were saying 40 years ago… And how wrong is THAT; that I should even be able to remember and talk about 40 years ago??? It would be different maybe if I actually felt 52… Mentally I mean…
On a larger scale tho, there is a strange sense of belonging to a process that is greater than ourselves, a sense of continuity, and a rare sort of peace about it all…
God’s works are not only greater than we understand, but greater than we CAN understand!
Peace!
