The time that we have to live our life on this planet is temporary.When we are young, time seems to drag on endlessly and we wait for that next hoped for thing in our life. As the years stack themselves one upon another and we suddenly find that we have lived 50 or 60 years, we realize just how quickly time has passed and our life is nearly over.Paul wrote that our life is like a vapor which is here for a moment, and then suddenly it is gone.James 4:14 "....
