No filter. Gray hair, wrinkles...all of it. No filter. I look at my picture and think, when did I get so old? Take this past weekend. Friday, I started with a stuffy nose and it turned into a head cold. A stopped up, can't breath, stuffy nose and it turned into being sick! I remember when I was young, I would start feeling like that, I could just shake it off. I would go on with life as usual. But NOOOO! I get a stuffy nose now and it turns into a raging head cold where I am laid up on the couch, in my PJ's all day, taking Nyquil every night. What happened to me??
Sometimes I wish I could turn back time. But then I think, I wouldn't have my life, my family, that I have now. So, when you start to think how hard life is, or how it is hard to accept growing old, look at your many blessings you have. Look at what you have been given. Remember all that you have experienced so far. If you didn't live, you would not have any of that.
Proverbs 16:31 (NIV); "Gray hair is a crown of splendor; it is attained in the way of righteousness."
Isaiah 46:4 NIV; “Even to your old age and gray hairs I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you”
Love to all,
Thank you for this. I had a minor outpatient surgery Thursday afternoon and started catching John’s head cold on Friday. My fever finally broke yesterday and I lost 6 pounds in 4 days. The only good news out of the deal lolš¤£thank you for the reminder and the scripture “cuz”. Love you!
