I wonder what type of animal is so small. It is cute.
Great ones! Thanks for posting these as you go through so many trials now. I pray you have water now. Pete seems to be doing so much better, to God be the glory!
….I read something by Laura Petherbridge this morning that blessed me. Feel free to delete this if it does not bless you as well…
Lately I’ve noticed little things that reveal I’m getting older. Some of them include:
· I find myself gravitating to the anti wrinkle section of the cosmetic counter.
· I no longer have any idea what color lipstick I’m applying because I can’t read the small print on the bottom of the tube.
· I walk into a room only to discover I have absolutely no recollection of why I’m there.
· I look for my coffee mug while it’s in my hand.
And so—it begins.
I am thrilled to discover that the Bible shares a positive side to aging, “Wisdom is found with the elderly, and understanding comes with long life” Job 12:12 CSB
My bones and hair may be thinning, but I am not defeated. There is a positive side to getting older. I can become smarter than ever before if I’m teachable. And desire it.
This is fabulous news.
I’m not embarrassed, or arrogant, about being different.
It’s not popular to be a senior citizen, a conservative, or a Christian. I’m all those things. I used to shy away from sharing who I am. No more.
I’ve learned to dance.
No, not the tango. My early years were spent in an exhausting effort of performance for everyone—including God. I kept trying to earn love, approval, significance, and acceptance.
I jumped off the performance treadmill.
If people don’t like that I’m a loud sanguine—oh well.
If people don’t like my Yankee accent—oh well.
If people think I talk about my faith too much—oh well.
If people don’t like my loud, crazy clothing and purse—oh well.
Oh that is relevant to those “of a certain age” and I loved it!! Want to save it in fact!
IDK what kind of mean little cat that is but he thinks he’s a lot bigger than he actually is hahaha!
Pete is definitely doing really well, doing more and more each day!
Thanks E!

I don’t let others determine my worth anymore.
