It was a memorable day in Santiago,
Chile, when I took a shortcut, but there was no path to follow. I can see it now with eyes closed shut. As I crossed that old graveyard there was a headstone I came across. I recall it as if it were in my backyard. It was weathered and covered with moss. My name was on that headstone! It had a birth date and a death date, and, for a moment, I felt all alone! It was not mine, but I didn't wait. I ran from that graveyard, a headstone with my name! I ran head down, fast and hard. I knew that I was alive all the same. So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom!* That's what Ps 90:12 says, Now, it's urgency for the kingdom. Footnote: *Psalm 90:12 ESV |
