Can you believe it's the First of October already? When the Passion Play would begin at 8:30 and it was already dark, we knew the season was winding down, but now the play begins at 7:30, in the dark, and it is even more evident that the season will soon be finished. Only 15 performances left. Where has the time gone?
Overnight the temperature dropped into the 40's and all this week we are expecting cooler daytime temperatures. It's nice to open the windows at night, not need the air conditioning during the day nor need to run the heater in the morning yet; but it all signals the changing of the season, the end of the Passion Play season and the need to start thinking of travel plans, winter destination(s), and how fleeting the time is. Earlier this morning I drove into our Holy Land, sat for a while at the Sea of Galilee, enjoyed the quiet, noticed the colors of the falling leaves, and thought about God, our life In Christ and the time we have been given to serve and glorify Him. Joy and sadness all mixed together in the reality of time moving on, and realizing there is nothing we can do to slow it down or stop it. Time flies methodically on.
There are no guarantees in this life, only God's promises of faithfulness and a future. The present moment is all we can be sure of and what life has in store for us is not ours to control, no matter how much we plan or prepare. Enjoy the moment, live it fully and trust God for what lies ahead. Time flies and we just need to hang on tight and fly with it.......and Him. All glory to God.
