70 or 80 years

Gotta see the irony in preaching Psalm 90 tomorrow and Pete's mother being in the hospital today. She's 80 years old and not in the best health. Psalm 90 contains the phrase, "we've been given 70 years, if we're lucky 80." And the hope of the psalmist is that we would learn how to number our days that we would gain a wise heart.

How do we number our days? How do we measure a year (as the song asks?)

I say relationships, I say love, I say risks, I say hard conversations, I say honest answers, I say every breath easily taken because of faith and hope. Count 'em up - that's living.
