I am definitely old. I can hardly believe how I was once able to multitask. No longer. When I look in the mirror, I no longer see my mother, but I see my grandmother.
I consider myself to be in the gratitude phase of life. One of the things that I am most grateful for is FreeRepublic. I started lurking in the 1990s during the outrages of the Clinton administration. I was so happy to find a community of similar thinking American patriots. I had no idea how completely crazy and evil the left would become in this country, making FreeRepublic more important to me than ever.
I am extremely grateful for the forum and for the happy memories of the DC chapter activities, especially both of the FreeRepublic inaugural balls.
Thank you, Jim Robinson, for making all of this possible. You have been, and continue to be, a life changer. Iām very sorry for the loss of your wife. You always miss her.
I understand the feeling. When Charlotte passed away, I stopped living. How I wished that I had Prayed, begged, pleaded, dis what ever I had to do to get the Good Lord to have taken me at the same time He took her.
Hugs, Love, and Prayers my dearJR š¤šš
My prayers are with you , Jim. Sending gentle hugs ,too.
Yes it does. Our life in this Earth is brief, like that lily in the field, gone in a breath. That fact becomes more apparent as we can now see the finish line coming into view. Thankfully we can trust in our God throughout and into the afterlife, for He will never leave us or forsake us. God bless you richly today, Jim Robinson!!
Prayer For Peace Into Old Age
Father, You are great and mighty and worthy to be praised, for You have promised to carry me, to sustain me and to hold me steady even into my old age. Thank You that in You there is nothing in life for about which I need be concerned, for I am safe in Your hands, knowing that You will uphold me with Your righteous right hand.
Speak Your perfect peace into my heart I pray, in the midst of the troublesome circumstances in which I find myself, and keep me resting in Your love and abiding in Your precious peace, in the strong assurance that You are mighty to save in every season of life.
Thank You for the thrill of childhood, the experience of youth and the lessons of adulthood. And now, as I face the twilight years of my life, I thank You Father, for Your never failing promises and Your ever present sustaining power.
Flood my mind with Your peace I pray, and enable me to sleep at night in tranquillity of heart, knowing that the angel of Your presence is with me throughout the hours of darkness. Praise the Lord O my soul, and all that is within me bless His holy name. In Jesus’ name I pray,
Amen.
