How many more weekends do I have left?

How many more weekends do I have left?

I have no desire to know how many weekends I have left.  Our Lord God has determined the length of my days and when I will be taken.  Yes, every person will die once, but your question is when, where and how a person dies, only God knows and this is the way it should be.  When I die, I have been promise a resurrected body and will be a King and Priest during the Millennium.
James tells me my life is like a vapor, appears for a little time and then vanishes.  Yes, I know my days are numbered,  but we are given encouraging words that  days of our lives are seventy years; which I have passed, but even better news, reason of strength are 80 years, if I am healthy, yet when I was younger, in my prime years there were troubles and sorrow.  

So, no I do not know how many weekends I have left and I do not want to know.  It is only by the grace of God that we live as long as we do.

Psa 90:9-10 NKJV  For all our days have passed away in Your wrath; We finish our years like a sigh.  (10)  The days of our lives are seventy years; And if by reason of strength they are eighty years, Yet their boast is only labor and sorrow; For it is soon cut off, and we fly away. 

Jas 4:14 NKJV  whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. 

Job 14:5 NKJV  Since his days are determined, The number of his months is with You; You have appointed his limits, so that he cannot pass. 

Psa 39:4-5 NKJV  "LORD, make me to know my end, And what is the measure of my days, That I may know how frail I am.  (5)  Indeed, You have made my days as handbreadths, And my age is as nothing before You; Certainly every man at his best state is but vapor. Selah 

1Th 4:13-17 NKJV  But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope.  (14)  For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus.  (15)  For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep.  (16)  For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.  (17)  Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. 

Heb 9:27 NKJV  And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment,
