Then Israel said to Joseph, “Now I’m about to die, but God will be with
you. He will bring you back to the land of your fathers.
Gen 48:21
Last night at dinner, my daughter told me she worried about me during the day and started to call me. She heard on the news that an elderly man died of a heart-attack in a neighbor I've worked before. I was just about to correct her statement about me being old, when I remembered recently seeing the cash register digital display that read, "AARP discount." The sales clerk didn't even ask; she just assumed. Don't get me wrong, I like discounts, but am still getting used to frequent physical reminders of my age. It's amazing the older I get, the more I experience good things that I didn't find desirable when I was young. I know, I know. You're wondering just how old I am, but that's not the point, so drop it already!
It's been said that home is where the heart is, but I think it's better stated, "My heart is where my home is." My heart is fixed on heaven. Now, if you consider yourself young, that thought may be only slightly endearing to you. But for those of us who've been around the track a few times, it means more with every step we take toward the finish line. Hey, at least I can still see the track, if even through "coke bottle" glass lens.
Pray it
Not one complaint, but only praise. Not one misgiving, but thanks-living. I'm still proclaiming; You're still extending. It works for me, even though I'm getting Homesick.
