I look at this picture, and I think, who is this old gu=
y?!?  :-)  

There was a time in my life when I didn’t =
think I would live to see 40, but today I turn 50 years old.  For some=
, mid-life is a scary prospect, and I understand that feeling.  I’ve n=
oticed that I don’t move as fast as I used to, I don’t jump out of bed like=
I did in my 20s because of the aches and pains, my hair is starting to tur=
n white, etc.  But actually, I’ve been looking forward to this next ph=
ase of my life.  Being with Christ has taught me something in all thes=
e years – that trusting Him opens up my life.  I’ve learned to be grat=
eful, more appreciative of little things, considerably less worried and anx=
ious, more loving, giving and caring, and it has made the difference. &nbsp=
;It really is, for me, about savoring every moment of my life.  I stil=
l have my good days and bad days, but “all my days haven’t come in yet”, so=
who can tell what a day brings?  The one constant is that God promise=
d to walk with you, always. He’s taken care of me for 50 years.  God w=
ill surely take care of you today… 

 O Lord thank you for my life.  Please bless th=
e lives of everyone who reads this today, and give them peace in their hear=
ts, in Jesus name, AMEN
