If You Live Long Enough

If you live long enough you learn to talk, walk, and run!
If you live long enough you go to school and graduate and some even go to college
If you live long enough you fall in love get married
you have kids, and grandkids!
If you live long enough you see a man walk on the moon
You vote and see your leaders fight and devour each other for a position they will regret later!
If you live long enough you experience loss of loved ones, jobs, homes and mates!
If you live long enough you discover that technology only dreamed about becomes reality and you wonder was it worth it after all?
If you live long enough you see your classmates grow older and think WOW do I look like that?
And looking in your own mirror sigh and wonder who is that stranger looking back at you!
If you live long enough you see a past of hurt and regret…but realize it is all forgiven and you do have the strength to go on!
If you live long enough your heart is filled with a strange bewilderment and love you never knew could exist when you look into the eyes of a grandchild and know a little-bit of you lives on long after you are gone.
If you live long enough you will one day experience death…that is yet to be seen!
There is more…so much more…If you live long enough.

I love the Lord Jesus Christ and am passionate about writing. I hope you enjoy the blog and come to visit often. Then the Lord answered me and said: “Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry. “Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But the just shall live by his faith. Habakkuk 2: 2-4
