‘Life is but a vapor.’ King Solomon’s words in the Bible. If that is true and it is so what’s the point? Your life will be over before you know it.
He tempers those words in the Old Testament with the statement and I am paraphrasing: It is a gift to enjoy our life.
The Greek has several words for the word “time” and right now they escape me. Nevertheless, one means the chronological passage of time and another means the significance of that point in time.
It is true, time seems, in retrospect, to flee you but not all points have similar value to you. It is the points in time that have significance to us so don’t despair over the passing in time.
Cherish the moments you have been given for there is no more precious gift that can be given to you than today. We all have so much and none of us knows exactly how much. And that makes our time on earth here that much more valuable. We never know when it is going to run out.
