Naturally I am not expecting you to tell me your age. Then, why am I asking this question? The book of James chapter 4, verse 14 says:

“Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes”. What is our life? Certainly it

What is our life? Certainly it is mist, that shows up for a short time and then it vanishes.

No matter what your age is, I desire that you enjoy the life that God has given you. Blessings and Merry Christ
