As for man, his days are like grass; As a flower of the field, so he flourishes. For the wind passes over it, and it is gone, And its place remembers it no more. Ps 103:15-16
Life is surely quick! Its days add up and are gone before you know it.
I found an old picture of the Swanson family and the big question has been when it was taken.
The three kids in the picture are the key to its date. Knowing when they were born along with any information about deaths, other births, or divorces can lead us to the years late 1968 to early 1969.
I remember the picture being taken but never gave it a second thought to burn into my memory a date.
Why would I? I was 11 years old and had eternity in front of me.
So did most of the others but out of all in the picture only 11 are still living; half are gone.
I’m so glad the Bible finishes the verse with this; But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear Him, And His righteousness to children’s children, To such as keep His covenant, And to those who remember His commandments to do them. Ps 103:17-18
We may not last but God’s mercy does!
