THREE SCORE AND TEN

That's pretty much all we're promised in the Bible. And I wouldn't really call it a promise, more a general rule of thumb.

Author James Hilton divided our lifespan into 3 groups of 25. For the first 25 years, we're too young for things. For the last 25, we're too old for them. In between, what a short period of time illuminates a life.

Scripture tells us basically the same thing calling our span " a mist" or "a vapor", and then it's over. Depressing? Not really, if we have the Lord in our heart. If we've accepted Jesus as our Lord and Savior, then our time is guaranteed to be in Heaven for eternity. Now how can that fact be depressing?

Thank your lucky stars? I'd say thank your loving Savior. And Creator who spoke you into your mother's womb before you were born. Who has a perfect plan for your short time here. And an even more perfect plan for your eternity. Ok, so there's no comparative or superlative form for perfect. Well, there's no comparison for our superlative Lord either.
