losing heart?

2 Corinthians 4: 16

¹⁶ Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day.

On Friday morning I celebrated my 59^th birthday by going duck hunting.

The ducks were very accommodating, but I’m not the crack pot shot I used to be.

Suffice to say, the ducks survived to see another day.

As I sat over the water in almost disbelief, even I had to crack smile at the obvious.

I’m certainly not the same person I was say, twenty (20) years ago.

When my Dad turned 87, he almost got old overnight.

This... “never say die”, man, suddenly got old...or maybe it was the first time I noticed.

Do you ever think about growing old?

There are times that I wonder what I’ll look like...and what I’ll act like.

I also wonder where I’ll be living, and what on earth I’ve accomplished in my life that truly mattered.

Some are fearful about walking through the aging process, in part because there are so many unknowns.

The Word of God though, can bring an element of comfort as it has to do with the future.

By today’s standards, I’m not a one bit old, but I’m encouraged to just take it one day at a time.

Starting today, I’m going to live every moment to the maximum.

And no...I’ll never be ready for a rocking chair, and please don’t throw a shawl over my shoulders either
