THOUGHTS ON LIFE’S FLEETING MOMENTS
We are all given just one shot at life. Are we numbering our days right by living each day for God as if it were the last? May our prayer be: "Show me, O Lord, my life's end and the number of my days; let me know how fleeting is my life. You have made my days a mere handbreadth; the span of my years is as nothing before you. Each man's life is but a breath" (Ps 39:4-5).
