Then and Now

Time is moving quickly. Days meld into nights, Nights fold into weeks. Weeks mesh into months. Months establish seasons. Seasons sneak up on us and surprise us with the culmination of the holidays. The holidays submerge us in traditions and entangle us with tension. The New Year forces us to reevaluate our lives and we come to the only right conclusion . . . ttime is fleeting. 

Nothing speaks to this reality more clearly than photographs. Pictures force us to recognize the fleeting nature of life. God cautions us to recognize the transitory nature of life. What we are going to do for the Lord, we need to be about the business of doing. Psalm 103:15-16 says, As for man, his days are like grass; as a flower of the field, so he flourishes. When the wind has passed over it, it is no more, And its place acknowledges it no longer. 

Here is 2 pictures of Declan, then and now. They illustrate what I am saying. Time is fleeting. Where has the time gone?

This was then. (Declan at 2 days) 

 

This is now. (Declan at 2 years)
