“Like Sands Through the Hourglass…”

"Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives." For over one-third of a century, those words have introduced and underscored one of daytime drama's rare mainstays. NBC's "Days of our Lives" first premiered as a half-hour drama in 1965 and expanded to an hour 10 years later. Today, it remains a favorite among viewers of daytime television serials.  http://www.nbc.com/days-of-our-lives/about

This is becoming more evident in the current day we are living in.

I know I never really put much consideration into my own mortality. That is a ploy of Satan. In his cunning way, he leads us to believe that we will live forever. However, that is not God’s plan for us.

The Bible says:

James 4:14 (NKJV):14 whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.

Hebrews 9:27 (NKJV): And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment,

2 Corinthians 5:10 (NKJV): For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.

Every single second, minute, hour and day draws us closer to the end of this existence. It is imperative that we embrace each and every one.
