Infancy
You are most high and You do not change.
Nor does "today" ever come to a close for You.
Yet because of You each day does come to a close for us.
The day finds its closing in You, for it has no way to end unless you uphold that ending.And since Your own years never come to an end, all of Your years are one "today".
How many or our years and our father's years flow through Your "today"?Your present is the measure and mold for each of our succeeding moments.
many moments flow by, and each will have the mark of Your mold of being.
And through all things tommorow, You are still the same.
Beyond and behind all yesterdays, You stand. All has been done during Your Today.
-St. Augustine from The Confessions of St. Augustine

Soothing picture and wonderful quote. The Lord created time itself... He created seasons and He sets up all the authorities of the earth and tears them down when He sees fit.
A God who dwells beyond the dimensions of time and space and the physical realm. For these don't exist except through their Creator.
It's His plan, His purpose, and I delight in that.
Eternity is one of those things that makes me feel very small and I have a hard time wrapping my mind around the idea. This quote adds a 'pixel' to my vision of what eternity must look like. My God and Savior does not sleep and there they stand unmoved by time. My Dad was born at 6 am and then me at 6:05am and now...here comes my son, and its only 6:10am! Wow. Oh God!..use me before my time is up! I am only here for a minute and then I am gone! Forgive me for all the time I've wasted doing lesser things...help me to do the right thing...I need you.
