Goodbye 2020
“So teach us to number our days, That we may gain a heart of wisdom.”
Psalms 90:12
I keep hearing people say that they will be glad when this year is over. The subject line of an email I received today said “Good riddance 2020!”
I would be lying if I said I hadn’t been thinking similar thoughts.
We want to hit fast forward, and be in the year 2021.
It seems ironic though, because one of the lessons we learned this year is that time is precious. We read every day about how many are sick with Covid, how full the hospitals are, and how many have died from Covid. We’ve realized that every day is a gift, and that we are here by the grace of God.
Years ago, I told a co-worker that I would be glad when Saturday came. He said “Don’t wish your life away.”
Someone talked about this subject a long time ago. It was Moses, the author of Psalm 90.
“So teach us to number our days, That we may gain a heart of wisdom.”
Psalms 90:12
Whether you are reading this before or after the calendar has turned to 2021, I pray that God will teach all of us to number our days, to enjoy each day, and give us a heart of gratitude for each day we are given. Happy New Year!
