How frail is humanity! How short is life, how full of trouble!
(Job 14:1; NLT).
No one can live forever; all will die.
(Psalm 89:48; NLT).
Life is short;
From birth, I face its end.
Life is hard,
But I am in your hand.
Life is a test,
Yet you, Lord, care from on high:
Sharing my sorrows;
Hearing every sigh.
Life is short,
And death is drawing near.
Life is hard,
But I am safe, with you.
Life is a test,
Yet you, Lord, come from above:
Sharing my anguish;
Pouring out your love.
Life is short;
My days are numbered here.
Life is hard,
But I need have no fear.
Life is a test,
Yet you, Lord, suffer within:
Sharing my pain, my failure,
And my sin.
Life is short;
My time on earth is brief.
Life is hard,
But I belong to you.
Life is a test,
Yet you, Lord, dwell in my soul:
Sharing my life and death,
To make me whole.

He was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that made us whole, and with his stripes we are healed. (Isaiah 53:5; RSV).
Every word is so true Ruth! Thank you for helping to recharge my urgency in serving Him today, regardless of my failing body. God bless you richly today sister.
Oh, thank you so much, Alan, what a lovely message you sent. Take care. I know exactly what it’s like to serve as well as you can, whilst very conscious of the limitations imposed by big health problems. God knows exactly how you are, and is using you to the full. No one could read your blogs and doubt that! XXXXX
Thank you for your precious encouragement sister.
My pleasure! XXXX
