Throughout

Well, my lovely wife had a birthday last Friday. I had been busy planning it for the last couple of months; not her birthday, it happens without planning, but the little party and presentation. I wanted to make her feel special and to know how special she is to me. I hope she felt that.

Anyway, one truth is that we are all getting older. I believe it was Kris Kristofferson that said, "The old are getting older and the young are doing the same." I heard a wise man once say, "It is usually only the birthdays that end in zero that give us trouble." There is something about aging that reminds us of our mortality. However, GOD has a reminder for us, too...

Today's word is Isaiah 46:4, NLT, which reads, "I will be your GOD throughout your lifetime - until your hair is white with age. I made you, and I will care for you."

I think we often get so caught up on aging that we forget to live; and I really mean me. But, if we just remember that we are GOD'S, we can more enjoy the journey. GOD reminds us in today's passage that He made us and that He will care for us - throughout our lifetime. We know that He will NEVER leave us nor forsake us. NEVER.

Aging is part of life. I tell people all the time that I am blessed to still be aging; it is something that not everyone gets to do. I am blessed to live the life that GOD has allowed. I am blessed to live this life with my wife and children. I also know that GOD is with me; He made me, and He will care for me, throughout.

Be Blessed,
Mickey T
