Seize the Day - Threescore and Ten

Tweet

Or as the national Anthem of Ireland states: "Come the day and come the hour" . . . I was reading all the tributes to the actor Gene Wilder who died yesterday and it seems he is remembered well. In many of my responses I remarked that Gene Wilder had had a wonderful full life and therefore death is not as tragic. @TRBRocks420 gave a wonderful response to that in saying - and I quote: "Yes, at least he had a good long life, but it's never really long enough." IS IT EVER REALLY LONG ENOUGH? In the great book we are said to live "threescore years and ten" which amounts to the following: "Threescore equals three times 20, or 60. Adding 10 to "threescore" thus produces 70. Psalm 90:10 goes on to say, "and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away." We have a life to live, we need to take it by the horns and Seize each day, for all too soon the days will be gone and we will be mournful of those that we wasted. “Old age is like a plane flying through a storm. Once you're aboard there's nothing you can do.” ~ Golda Meir Carpe Deim - have a wonderful Tuesday everyone. I give you a throwback Tuesday photo - a time far gone but frozen in my photo.
