As I’ve been doing for many years now, I attended a Men’s Retreat at Our Lady of the Oaks in Grand Coteau on June 4 thru 7 this year. A restful time, a prayerful experience, quiet moments for the mind (and reflections).
While reading Scripture in the quiet one day, I came across a passage in Psalm 90 that caught my attention. I quote: “Seventy is the sum of our years, Or eighty if we are strong, And Most of them are fruitless toil. For they pass quickly and we drift away.”
How true, how thought provoking. With the fast pace in today’s world, and as age comes upon us, how often do we take time to thank God for our blessings.
