Summary
I read a study recently that indicates our life expectancy is 79.3 years. When you’re young that number feels like an eternity as you consider the long road of life you have in front of you. And as you age, well, you realize how fleeting time really is and how important it is to make your days count.
This week we’re praying for our kids to live with urgency in their lives and number their days well. This happens when we realize that God is with us and for us so we have the freedom to live big, take risks, and make each day count.
Let’s ask the Lord to help our kids grasp the significance of every day—a day they were not promised—and use these days to follow the Lord, live by his Word, and pursue the things of eternity.
Can’t wait to pray with you!
P.S. We would be so grateful if you’d consider sharing Pardon the Mess with a friend. Encourage those you know and love to join us in praying each week by forwarding this email or sending a link to the show. Thank you!

| 0:28.4 | a long time for our kids this year. And so I'm just so grateful for all of you that are doing this |

| 0:41.9 | praying for our kids. And this topic today, you guys, I could I could really go on and on and on. |
| 0:46.8 | So I'll try not to. But I love this idea of numbering our days, the importance of understanding |
| 0:53.1 | that our days matter because life is brief. |
| 0:56.5 | And so at Psalm 90, the key verses are four and 12. |
| 1:00.5 | A thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just gone by or like a watch in the |
| 1:05.7 | night. |
| 1:06.5 | Teach us to number our days that we may gain a heart of wisdom. |
| 1:11.3 | I think the reason this whole idea of numbering our days has meant so much to me is because |
| 1:16.2 | I studied Solomon in Ecclesiastes several years ago and just this whole notion of Solomon |
| 1:22.9 | who had gone after everything and seen and had and acquired everything you could have in life. |
| 1:28.6 | And he basically says, listen, there's nothing new under the sun. |
| 1:31.6 | And so we need to love God. |
