The Heavens of My Life

Ignorant before the heavens of my life,
         I stand and gaze in wonder. Oh the vastness
         of the stars. Their rising and descent. How still.
         As if I didn't exist. Do I have any
         share in this?
                                              -Rainer Maria Rilke  
 



Life is short. We can feel so small and insignificant sometimes when we take into account God's eternal existence outside of time, creation's vastness, and the extraordinary laws that keep our planets, moons and stars in place. We don't know how the events (the "heavens") of our lives will play out, but we do know one thing: God is in control!
 

It's amazing how quickly the years fly by - in our own lives, in our marriages, in the lives of our children. I read an excellent quote once that said, "Savor each moment with your children. The days are long, but the years are short!" How do you savor each moment with your spouse, children, family, and other loved ones? Please share your thoughts here.
