Good Morning,
I am enjoying a hot cup of Door County Churro Coffee. The sun is rising in the East and it looks like it will be melting the spring frost that has painted the grass once again.
Job 14:5 ESV Since his days are determined, and the number of his months is with you, and you have appointed his limits, that he cannot pass.
We switched over to Daylight Savings Time again last night and as usual my job as the "Clock Keeper" is to reset our clocks to the correct time. That chore is almost complete now except for one old clock that sits at this desk where I am writing from. We also have one clock on the fireplace that resets itself by receiving a satellite signal.
Once I am done writing this morning I will take the old clock apart, change the battery and reset it by turning the hands on the clock myself. We received that clock as a wedding present many years ago. The clock as only stopped for a short time when I change the battery. In September the clock will have logged over 332,880 hours. Now give or take a few because of leap year but the clock has done a lot of work. Some day that clock will stop and Rene and I will be gone. I am sure no one will want the old clock after our passing, so basically it will stop keeping time for us.
It's kind of a sobering thought to look at a clock and know as it keeps time your life is also ticking away. No one but God knows when the time will run out for us. He is the Keeper of the clock. So since I am sitting here thinking about it, your clock is ticking away also. If yesterday you had a cross word with a loved one, make it right today and apologize for your part in the ruckus. If there are lies in your life, set the record straight. If you put off what should have been done yesterday, get it done today.
You never know when the Keeper of the clock stops your clock and there are those folks who say "It's about time."
Marty
