Short

It's always sobering to think just how short our little lives are.

In the moment, a year or two looks like a long time. 

We wonder how we could ever get through it.

But looking back...

It never seems quite as long as we thought it was.

Or even as unbearable as we feared it would be.

Sometimes, we even miss it just a smidge.

I want to be thankful for the seasons of life I live.

Which is why I try my darnedest (and many times fail that way, too) to live in the season I'm in right now, not the one of tomorrow. 

When I look back on this season I'm in right now (and every other season in my life) I want to be able to say, "Wow. What a great season that was. There were definitely challenges, but God was with me through it. And I learned so much."

I don't ever want to discredit the time I'm in right now by wishing it away. 

For my life is but a vapor.

A flower quickly fading.

But how beautiful it is.

A bit of a throwback. But thinking about seasons reminds me of this song...
