Uncle Lee was an old man well into his eighties who would, on occasion, stop for a brief visit. He would always go to a window overlooking the river and focus on a particular rock to see if the river had risen or fallen. He didn’t wear glasses and I certainly couldn’t see that rock without mine and that always amazed me.
He’s gone now and that rock is still there. It was there a long time before he came on the scene and it will be there a long time after I’m gone. There are some things in this world that are temporary and some things created for the ages. Memories, like the above mentioned, cause one to realize the brevity of life.
A distraught patient phoned her doctor’s office. Was it true, the woman wanted to know, that the medication the doctor had prescribed was to be taken for the rest of her life? She was told that it was.
There was a moment of silence before the woman continued, “I’m wondering then, just how serious my condition is. This prescription is marked “No Refills!”
Ecclesiastes 12:7
Then the dust will return to the earth as it was,
And the spirit will return to God who gave it.
Give it some thought.
