Countdown

The clock is ticking. Thanksgiving break, three more weeks of class, finals... then Christmas!!! One more semester and out of college... hopefully to find a job and go to Europe. Amazing and scary all in one.

But all of this made me realize how fast time really goes. Just yesterday I felt like I was graduating high school and the end of college is already near. Even more, as I see the people in my life age, it just continues to remind me how valuable each day is. Soon we will all be old and wrinkly and in that perspective the little cares that we seem to hold onto are meaningless. The bigger picture of Christ and our eternal life in heaven is what is worth keeping your eyes fixed on. Everything else changes... continues to change... and will always change. That is why we hold and cherish the ones we love... remind them how much we really care... and stand tall knowing our bright future that lies ahead. Meanwhile, it is not going to be easy. You're not always going to be happy. Maybe things will really suck for a short or long while. But through those times you hurt the most is when you can grow. And trust me, there always is something to smile about.

As Thanksgiving approaches, (although this shouldn't be the only time in the year) I hope that everyone really takes some genuine time to think about their blessings and sincerely give thanks.
