Life is a blink of an eye

Patty and I went out to dinner tonight with some old friends that we hadn’t seen in a long time. As we visited it seemed 35 years ago was like yesterday. Old hunting stories and jokes popped into my head with great clarity. It was really fun. The Bible says life is like a blink of an eye, and it really does seem that way at this point in life. Sometimes I can’t remember if I bought an exercise bike yet or not, and then at other times it will seem like yesterday when I graduated from High School. I often wonder what I will remember of my life when I get to heaven. Our mind will be perfect so my memory should be perfect as well, but there it a fair amount of my life I would rather not remember for all eternity. Maybe that is what will make heaven so wonderful, the huge contrast between the past here on earth and the eternity that stretches ahead of me that will be indescribably wonderful.
