Aiming for Permanence

How we wish that good things, that those we love and cherish be in our midst forever. Life is short. And everything is temporary.
"As for man, his days are like grass, he flourishes like a flower of the field; the wind blows over it and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more."
Psalm 103:15-16 tells us so.

Yet we hold on to the things we treasure as long as we can. We immortalize, record, frame, engrave, embalm, enshrine...

The space i occupy will no longer be mine someday. But i hope to make even a dent (for the good) in someone's heart, in someone's life. Just as many have done in mine. I can only do so with the impressions the Lord has written upon my heart.
