He awakened this A.M. because of the usual pain in his back. He took a quick shower, rinsed and put his teeth in, cleaned his trifocals and put his hearing aids on. Then he combed the little hair he had left. He hit the car starter to warm up the vehicle which he would use to go to the nursing home, where he would visit his wife who hasn’t known him for the past two years. On the highway, with cars passing him repeatedly, he wondered why their kids haven’t called in weeks.
Does the Bible address this scene? Glad you asked.
The days of our lives are seventy years; And if by reason of strength they are eighty years, Yet their boast is only labor and sorrow; For it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
Does he know this life is coming to a conclusion and a new, different experience is about to begin?
Give it some careful consideration.
