Where does the time go?

Even to your old age and gray hairs I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you. Isaiah 46:4

Am I the only one who gets to the end of the day and wonders where in the world the day went?  I feel like some days I get so much accomplished, while other days…I feel like I might as well have stayed in bed.  Why is that? How does that happen? Then of course, I look at my life and wonder where it has gone.  I am turning forty this year.  As I watch all of my high school friends turn the big 40, knowing my turn will be late fall; I am stunned we could be this old.  I remember when I thought thirty was old… now forty doesn’t even seem that old!  It’s funny how age really is just a number because I certainly don’t feel like I’m almost forty, YES almost!!!  I guess it will be the same when I am fifty, sixty, seventy, or beyond if I or the world makes it that long.  Oh, and did I mention I found my first gray hair yesterday?  I know you are laughing…but I was quite upset over this find! My memory is going, my knees and hip are giving me trouble when I run…and I have a distinct feeling it isn’t going to improve much as I age ;) But I know God must be laughing too, because this lifetime is but a blink of the eye compared to a lifetime with Jesus Christ in heaven!  I am sure He must be doubled over laughing when He watches us trying to manage a day’s worth of chores or getting worked up over turning forty.  He is the one that sustains us and carries us daily.  I am certain He often even rescues me from myself!  He even knows and has all of my gray hairs counted that I haven’t even found yet!!! So I suppose I will rest in Him, rely on Him, age as gracefully and as wrinkle free as possible; and know God’s word says He will rescue me even when I am sporting the “blue hair” look.  But until then, thank you Lord for hair color and wrinkle cream!
