Today I performed a funeral and witnessed the turning of life - yet one more time. So that I feel I must write, at least something, before I reach that age so famously opined by Paul, as in McCartney, (64).
With a song he asked a question. For me - today - there is simply a list. A list of things that...
I never thought I'd be...
1. This young when I got this old
2. Someone who'd misplace his reading glasses this much
When I got this old, I never thought I'd still...
3. Have ambition
4. Deal with anxiety
5. Be tempted with greed
When I got this old, I never thought I'd want...
6. More time
7. More money
8. More leisure
When I got this old, I never thought I'd need...
9. More time
10. More money
11. More leisure
Yet, now that I am "this old," I realize...
12. How blessed I am to know and live the grace of God. To deal with both my age and lost glasses by His grace. To enjoy my time, His money and some leisure (as/when it comes) - by His grace. And to discover all I will ever need in facing today and forever - by His grace!!!!
Indeed, e'en at 63!
