In God I have promise of goodness and joy.
All of His "blessings" I need to employ.
I'm seeing things which I missed before.
When life was too fast, I didn't "explore".
As I am focused and to Him attuned,
There I am cushioned and safely cocooned.
To be in His will is a heartfelt desire,
For deep in my spirit He fans a new fire.
Why should I think that I'm just too "old"
To do a new work... or something quite bold?
If God is the author of some new forte,
I only need follow... He'll show me the way.
Old age won't cause me to get all unstrung.
I have decided that I will think young!
I don't move fast, but give things more thought...
Taking time to be thankful... as all of us ought!
"Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit."
Jeremiah 17:7-8 KJV
