really. How 'bout you.
Rhinestone, or drug store, or real? It's not too late for
the first two. All you need is a pair of boots and a big hat.
And I really kinda of
thought I would get old with my sister hanging around.
I never really thought that I would live long enough to get
old. My dad died when he was thirty-seven, and since he was bigger and
stronger and smarter than me, I could not imagine living longer than he
did.
Did God save the best for the last? I think not.
In some ways, yes. In other ways, no. What we have is paid for
now. That sure beats trying to get by on a shoestring. We can afford
to eat out on weekends now. That beats beanie weenies at home. The
last part of our marriage is much better than was the first part. We
have learned to be content with what God has given and no longer try to
keep up with the Jones'. I am not hoping to find the right woman and
have learned to be more impressed with inner beauty than in what I see
in the flesh.
The down side is fading energy, fading memory, and spending a good
portion of our income on medicines.
Reality has a way of preparing us for those things that , in our
innocence, were furthest from our mind.
Looking backward, I can see God's hand on my life, pushing
here, protecting there, correcting at times and blessing at times,
bliss at some times, heartbreak at others. I think they call it
experience.
