Remember Your Creator

Ecclesiastes 12:1-5 Remember also your Creator in the days of your youth, before the evil days come and the years draw near of which you will say, "I have no pleasure in them";  2 before the sun and the light and the moon and the stars are darkened and the clouds return after the rain,  3 in the day when the keepers of the house tremble, and the strong men are bent, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those who look through the windows are dimmed,  4 and the doors on the street are shut - when the sound of the grinding is low, and one rises up at the sound of a bird, and all the daughters of song are brought low -  5 they are afraid also of what is high, and terrors are in the way; the almond tree blossoms, the grasshopper drags itself along, and desire fails, because man is going to his eternal home, and the mourners go about the streets - 

6  before the silver cord is snapped, or the golden bowl is broken, or the pitcher is shattered at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern,  7 and the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it. 

Can you imagine?  You are about to fill your pitcher at the fountain and it shatters.  Your wheel breaks at the cistern...and life is over.  Just when you are preparing to do your daily tasks as usual, they need doing no more by you.  Unexpected expectations.
We know it will happen, just not when.  We are to remember our Creator in the days of our youth.  
Someone once said, "Youth is wasted on the wrong people."  There is truth hidden there, I guess.  It isn't until you are grayed and wrinkled that you see life as it really is and are able to discern the things that matter most.
Remembering Who made you will help you prioritize your day, love more, laugh more, give more.
Don't waste your life.
The cord will snap, the bowl will break and the silver and gold will remain here.  You won't need it anyway.  Our greatest Treasure awaits us.  Finish well.
