How Old is Old?
Your mind is not controlled by a
calendar page.
Let your dream be bold
There are blessings as we age.
People don’t expect as much from us.
That’s actually a blessing, you know.
When you do come up with “wisdom
from above”
You can stand back and glow.
“When we do the best we can,
we never know what miracle is
wrought in our life. or in the life
of another”

The age I am is a welcome friend-
It is so patient, no rush to the end.
One day at a time is sufficient for me
to glean the promises of God eternally.
I want so much to continue to grow-
It is Christ, my Savior, I want to know.
Age is a gift from our Lord above.
Treasure the memories of His infinite love.
One rule I have made as I age.
“Don’t let your life be ruled by a calendar page”.
P.S. As long as God gives you life,
LIVE it!

It’s important to have an answer to that question.
You truly need purpose as you age.
Purpose is fundamental, so
your day is not hum-drum
or ‘just another page.”
I want my life to matter.
i want to touch another soul.
If you take the time to read my words,
then I feel I have reached my goal
.
We are expected to glorify Christ
in all that we do.
When your heart is filled with His love,
others will see Christ in you.
Open new chapters of your life.
It’s important to be more bold.
Take more risks, not physical,
but being more yourself.
That’s growing whole, not old.

”You Are Not What You Think You Are,
But What You Think, You Are’
Now that is controversial,
and truly is confusing.
You are toying with my thinking,
But I do find it amusing.
If I think that I am coping
with the problems of old age,
And truly believe that my life
is not ruled by a calendar page,
Then I will continue on my journey-
finding meaning as I go,
Trusting God to teach me
all that He wants me to know.
It never ceases to amaze me
when I think about the past.
The trials never seemed to end-
While the good times went so fast.
Everything in life happens for a reason.
God wants to conform us to the image of His Son.
When confronted with life’s problems,
Remember, the battle has already been won.

Solitude isn’t the same as isolation, at least in my heart and mind. The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines solitude as “the quality or state of being alone or removed from society” and isolation as “the action of isolating or the condition of being isolated.” I find something relaxing and restorative about solitude, while I never associate […]
2020 was a year like most of us have never experienced. Social turmoil, a pandemic, economic downturn, social isolation, and violent terror attacks. Conversely, there was also a resurgence of families spending time together, children playing outside, an awakening of faith, a renewed appreciation for many things we’d long taken for granted. Over the next […]
