Twenty Two and Counting - Where did the time go?

                                       

Do not marvel at this, for an hour is coming when all who are in the tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment. John 5:28-29

Soon and very soon...Before you know it:  we will wake up on Christmas day.  Soon will be the day of Judgement (as Miss Flight says about the Jandyce judgement in the court of chancery in Bleak House).

In my mind we all die at the same instant.  From the creator's perspective we are on this earth for an instant, and then gone.  Our ends approximate to about the same moment. 

And then is the day of Judgement.  What images have been conjured up of many hundreds of years! The doom paint in St Thomas Salisbury is a fine example.  

What do I think?  For me I hold onto three things.

Just as I love my children (and more) my creator loves me.

Just I never want the relationship I have with the ones I love to end, so it is with the one who loves me.

This life is but a fore taste of treasures to come.  I see the wonder of nature and know that this is not it.
