gaining a heart of wisdom

It's that time of year again. Tomorrow is my birthday. I will have lived 16436 days. If I live 70 years, I only have 9114 left. If I have the strength and live to 80, then 10416 are left. Either way, I've already used the larger portion of my life. I'd like to report that it was well used. While some was, much was not.

Psa 90.10; "The years of our life are seventy, or even by reason of strength eighty; yet their span [1] is but toil and trouble; they are soon gone, and we fly away."

Psa 90.12; "So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom."

I pray that while I cannot know how many are really remaining, that I would be wise and use them well.
