How Time Passes

How quickly time passes away.  I chose to display a picture of my late grandmother Marjorie Truman as my main focal point of my blog this month. The reason for the quilt pattern although hard to read some of it is because of her love of quilting.

My grandmother was a simple lady as she grew older.  She did grow up with very little, she was a very hard worker and she loved taking care of people.  I have to say though... my grandma didn't really like me all to well.  Now I know what you are saying what a terrible thing to say... but it is true.  Every grandparent whether they like to admit it or not have a "favorite", my sister just happened to be my grandma's and I was my grandpa's.  We were a very small family and very close.   She just happened to say whatever she felt like saying.  For those of you who knew my grandma I am sure she probably said something to you a time or two that just struck you the wrong way.  She was a very unique lady she was very active up until about a year ago and I always used to joke that she was too stubborn to die that she would probably outlast all of us but nevertheless her time was up on this earth.  It is sad to think I now have no more grandparents left.

As we move along this road called life... the older we get... the faster we move.  Time just keeps passing away.  The wonderful thing about our Creator is that he gave us the right to choose.  How will we choose to spend our time here on this earth.  Well for me as I get older... I feel maybe I have wasted a lot of my time that God has given me... I have squandered it away in idleness.  No not doing bad things... but just NOT doing.  I know there are many things out there that God would have me to do .. Just not sure of what they are yet.

I have changed my title to Under His Wings because that is what I feel I am right now and am very grateful for.  Under His Wings shall I abide.  It is a safe, dry and warm place.  The world is so harsh and cruel I long for His Wings to protect me.  So how will you choose to spend your time on this earth?
