AND

Here!

You know,
time has a way of moving quickly and
catching
you unaware of the passing years.
It seems
just yesterday that I was a young girl, just
married and
embarking on my new life with my husband.
And yet in
a way, it seems like eons ago and I
wonder
where all the years went. I know that I lived
them
all...And I have glimpses of how it was back then
and of all
my hopes and dreams...
But, here
it is...the winter of my life and it catches me
by
surprise...How did I get here so fast? Where did the
years go
and where did my babies go? And where
did my
youth go?
I remember
well...seeing older people through the years
and
thinking that those older people were years away
from me and
that winter was so far off that I could
not phathom
it or imagine fully what it would be like...
But, here
it is...husband retired yesterday and he's
really
getting gray...he moves slower and I see an older
man now.
He's in much better shape than me...
but, I see
the great change...
Not the one
I married who was dark and young
and
strong...but, like me, his age is beginning to show
and we are
now those older folks that we used to
see and
never thought we'd be.
Each day
now, I find that just getting a shower is a
real target
for the day! And taking a nap is not a
treat
anymore...it's mandatory! Cause if I don't on
my own free
will...I just fall asleep where I sit!
And so, now
I enter into this new season of my life
unprepared
for all the aches and pains and the
loss of
strength and ability to go and do things.
But, at
least I know, that though the winter has come,
and I'm not
sure how long it will last...This I know, that
when it's
over...I will enjoy the Spring in the arms of my
loving
Father...and wait for my loved ones to come
when their
winter is over too...
So, if your
not in your winter yet...let me remind you,
that it
will be here faster than you think. So, whatever you
would like
to accomplish in your life please do it quickly!
For
remember that scripture?...our life is but a vapor,
it
vanisheth away...So, do what you can today, because you
can never
be sure whether this is your winter or not!
You have no
promise that you will see all the seasons of
your
life...so, live for the Lord today and say all the
things
that you
want your loved ones to remember...
Thank You,
Jesus!
