In the grand scheme of things time goes by so very fast

Leaving us sometimes wanting certain moments to last

Days turn to weeks, weeks to months then months to years they pass quickly by

We can’t slow time, no matter how we try

For we can only live our very best

Remembering all the ways in which we are blessed

Living it for God and living in gratitude

Enjoying all He’s given with a loving attitude

Making the most of every moment with those we hold dear

Knowing time is precious and how the days turn into years

For none but God knows when our days are done

Or when He calls us home, when that day does come

May we walk with God, and what He calls us to

Glorifying Him in all we say and do

For in the grand scheme of things, l can better see

That time goes by so quickly

So may we make the most of the time we are given

And truly live it, in the way we should be liven

Grand scheme of things

Ephesians 5:15-17 NIV

Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.

Psalm 39:5 NIV

You have made my days a mere handbreadth; the span of my years is as nothing before you. Everyone is but a breath, even those who seem secure.
