When I was much younger, I used to think I would never get old. I thought I would live forever. I felt I could do whatever I wanted to do. I didn’t ever want to “get old”. But I’ve got to admit, getting older has its advantages. No, it’s not my birthday - I just thought I’d write about it while I still remembered what I was going to say! (I guess getting older also has its disadvantages too. Funny, I don’t remember being absent minded). Garfield, the cat, not the President, used to say, “We get heavier as we get older because there’s a lot more information in our heads. So I’m just really intelligent and my head couldn’t hold any more so it started filling up the rest of me.” I guess that’s the right attitude.
One thing I have noticed is how sweeter worship is as you get a bit older. I am not quite sure if that means we appreciate it more, or if we are more “in tune” to the Holy Spirit, or maybe it’s just because when we were young, we spoke like a child. We thought like a child, and we acted like a child. But when we got older, physically and spiritually, we put away childish things. We were able to understand more what God has for us. And when we find whatever God has for us, it’s the sweetest age on earth! May you have Just a Closer Walk with Him this week!
Friend Day is coming in March!
You are loved! John
