Have you ever considered what it means to "number your days"? The ancient wisdom of Psalm 90 offers a profound invitation to live with the awareness that our time on earth is limited—not to induce fear, but to cultivate wisdom and purpose.

The story of an elderly Scotsman on his deathbed powerfully illustrates this principle. As a storm raged outside his cottage, he peacefully told his daughter, "I thatched me hoose before the storm began." His metaphor speaks volumes about spiritual preparedness and living with eternity in mind. When we acknowledge life's brevity, we begin to value each day as a sacred trust from God.

Are you living with purpose today, or waiting for "someday"? How might your priorities shift if you viewed each moment through the lens of eternity? Join me in exploring how to thatch our houses before the storm—living ready for eternity while finding joy in each day God gives us.
