The week before your wedding perhaps- more time to enjoy being engaged, to perfect the last minute details, to feel more prepared for the new phase of life approaching.
The last few days in a beloved city- more meals at your favorite restaurants, more chances to spend quality time with friends and family.
The last year before a child goes off to college- time to savor each little everyday thing that when they have left for school will bring joy and perhaps a touch of sadness as you remember them.
The last week of a decade. 29 sounds so different then 30. 59 so much younger than 60.
Where does time go? Some days it feels like time is ever before you stretching out with its immense possibilities.
Other days life and breath seem so fleeting. Each moment something to savor and capture. Some days you want to hold on for dear life to the present.
But life goes on. If we didn't graduate high school we might not meet that special someone in college. If we didn't move past pregnancy we'd miss the child's first smile, first bicycle ride, first prom date.
Life is full of firsts. It's also full of memories, traditions, and favorite activities and people.
And so we continue to live each day as it comes and trust our tomorrows and the story that is our lives with the One created us and makes all things beautiful in His time.
