Perspective


Yesterday, Tom and I had a long chat about – lots of things. But one of the things we did was create an excel file that mapped out our life for the next 50 years. It shows what age we and our children (and hopefully future children) will be, and what life events will likely happen in those years (end residency, children enter school, go on missions, attend college, etc). As I looked at this span of 50 years I was struck by how short the years are that I get to have my children home with me all day. I felt a renewed desire to cherish and maximize that time. Now if only I could see the eternities and grasp how short this earth life is!

  1. Your right. Life flies way to fast if we don’t pull back on the reins. We miss the the beautiful scenery, and the growth in the people we love most around us.
