Sometimes I feel like a little ant in the grand scheme of things. I am scurrying around trying to fill my life with things and at any moment I could be squashed by a big shoe or worse yet burnt up by a huge magnifying glass.
I think about this a lot when I work for my Dad. Here we are putting a new road or bridge in, taking load ofter load of dirt out and bringing load after load of rock and sand in.
Sometimes it seems very, very pointless.
Does God just shake His head as we scurry around moving piles of Eath from one location to another and then in a few years do it again.
I also think about how precious time has become the older I get. Do I want to work so many hours of my life to pay for one item. Is it really worth that?
So many things just seem futile, like I am just spinning my wheels, wasting my time. I know some things are neccesary, but when I clean or do laundry, it is just going to get dirty again.
I will be the first to admit I can be a neat freak so cleanliness is important, but geesh, can it stay clean for more than five minutes.
I guess I just need help to focus more on the things that will last. Sometimes I just imagine that this world is burnt up, gone. Have I invested only in things that are now smoldering charcoal or are there some lasting things that have gone through the fire? I pray I have invested in lasting things and not wasted my life on a bunch of firewood.
