Years are like snowflakes in that they accumulate slowly at first and in fact you rarely notice them accumulating until all of the sudden you look out and can’t see the ground anymore. Sure you knew it was coming down but it really didn’t look like it was anything to concern yourself with. One snowflake at a time and then suddenly you’re snowed in. Prayerfully you’ve prepared for this. You have extra groceries, and good supply of water and an alternative source of heat.
As I think about my life it’s like the snow. One year really didn’t seem to go by too quickly. When my children were little I thought I’d be changing diapers and wiping up spills forever. I couldn’t imagine the empty nest I now experience. One snowflake at a time then everything looked different. The blanket of white covered all that I once thought was so very important now seems insignificant.
2 Peter 3:8 (ESV) “But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.”
Psalm 90:12 (ESV) “So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom.”
I wish someone would have shared with me how very fast time goes. I wish someone would have shared with me to make more memories and worry less about messes and the small stuff. I wish I would have taken more photos with me in them instead of me behind the camera. I wish I would have known how to number my days. Allow me the honor to share with you to enjoy the journey. Ask Father God about what’s important rather than the world telling you what’s important. Things go out of style. Most of the stuff you buy you will end up throwing away. People remain forever in our hearts and live for eternity. Be eternity minded. One day you will look out the window and realize that the individual snowflakes have accumulated and you are in the winter of your life. The spring and summer and falls have passed and you will wonder how it happened. It happened one day—one snowflake at a time.
