As we grow older…
We are given the gift of extra time!
I now have time to volunteer and help others according to my abilities. I can sit outside daily on my beautiful deck and watch the trees bud in the spring…watch a sunset from beginning to end….and watch the clouds drift by changing shape…..watch the horse in the pasture.
I have time to be with friends. We can remember our rich times together when we were young. I can be patient with my friend who has become ill-tempered and feels sad. I can give a hug to the ones that need it. I have time to listen, because we all need a good listener. I have time to publish my church’s newsletter.
I have time to enjoy my children, and they have time to feel the satisfaction of responding to my needs and being with me. I have time for my grandchildren, and my great-grandchildren. If I were not getting older I would not be able to know them. I have time to read the special books to three generations. My life is full of joy. Every day I have a time for a quiet walk with my Lord!
