Our life is like a timeline. When you are little you cannot wait to go to kindergarten, then it is time to go to school. After spending 12 years in school you cannot wait to get out of school and see what the world has in store, maybe moving away from home, getting more schooling or entering the workforce. Sometimes even the adventure of the workforce does not satisfy and you look forward to retirement. Then you’ll have freedom to do as you please and go wherever you want to.

However, by then you have reached the fall and winter season of your life and these golden years are not always as shiny as they are supposed to be. 

It says in Ecclesiastes 3:1,2a “To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the Heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die…” It is all in God’s wise bestowment. God created me in my mother’s womb and it is God Who will call me Home.

May our day be full of peace and joy as we trust God, for His timeline is perfect.
