I am not one that looks out for rhyming dates and the like though, but today I had a thought and it was interesting in that it was another opportunity to appreciate the markers that we have in life for numbering our days and knowing that there will be an end eventually.
Today is the 12th of December 2012 and other than being a new day that no one has seen before today, the other thing about it is that the next opportunity so see this date is in about 100 years for now.
So in that time what are the things that will abide and what are the things that would long be gone? To put it in perspective, the child that is born today will be a hundred years old the next time this date comes around if he or she is still alive. I think I would have gone home by then, if Christ tarries, the world will definitely be a different place, who knows what computers and cars will be like in those days?
So I have had the privilege of seeing 01/01/01, 02/02/02, 03/03/03, 04/04/04, 05/05/05, 06/06/06, 07/07/07, 08/08/08, 09/09/09, 10/10/10, 11/11/11 and today 12/12/12.
It’s not that I believe it signifies anything other than the mercy and grace of God to have this opportunity, but I can give it a significance, an opportunity to reflect on my journey so far with my Creator.
Tomorrow is another day and so today, it was nice meeting and knowing you…see you in hundred years 🙂
