A man is not old when his hair turns gray,
A man is not old when his teeth decay,
But he's well on his way to the last long sleep
When his mind makes a date that his body can't keep.


Author DEFINITELY Unknown.

Oh my, Amy. Congratulations!

If I knew how to post with graphics, you'd be seeing HTML fireworks bursting in air.

Happy 46th Anniversary !

. . . That which is done is what will be done, and there is nothing new under the sun. —Ecclesiastes 1:9


I wonder what I did for God today:
How many times did I once pause and pray?
But I must find and serve Him in these ways,
For life is made of ordinary days.  Macbeth

If life is a grind, use it to sharpen your character.

I had to post the whole thing today.

All of us are bound to repeat ourselves as we go about our daily routine. Time after time we eat, sleep, work, and clean up. We can lose our enthusiasm for life if "there is nothing new under the sun" (Ecclesiastes 1:9).

There is another way to view life, however. The world may be likened to a stage on which the drama of eternity is being unfolded. We are the actors. The sun rises and falls like a great curtain day after day, and every time we "repeat our lines" we make a decision. We either respond to the cues of our daily circumstances just to get our part over with, or we look at our role in life as a wonderful opportunity to know and enjoy the goodness and wisdom of the great Director (5:18-20; 12:13-14).

As we gladly participate in this repetitive activity, character is formed, faith is strengthened, hope is increased, and endurance is developed. Through the normal course of events, God is saying to us that there is more to our earthly existence than the meaningless round of duties.

Part of God's plan for us is that we yield to His guidance in ordinary events that occur over and over again. Repeatedly trusting the Lord throughout this month, this week, this day, and this hour is by far the surest way to make life routinely fresh. —Mart De Haan
