Growing old is perhaps the hardest task we have to face in this life. As the saying goes, "Getting old is not for sissies." Mainly, growing old is about losses. We devote most of our early life to acquiring things, but they are merely things we will lose as we age. We lose our strength, our looks, our friends, our job. We may lose our wealth, our home, our health, our spouse, our independence, and perhaps the greatest loss of all, our sense of dignity and self-worth. But there is one thing that you and I will never losethe love of God. "Even to your old age, I am He," God said to the prophet, "and even to gray hairs I will carry you! I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you" (Isaiah 46:4). "The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree," wrote the songwriter (Psalm 92:12). "Those who are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God. They shall still bear fruit in old age" (vv.13-14). David Roper
Though my hair is white as snow; Though my sight is growing dim, Still He bids me trust in Him. Warner God's love never grows old.

Good morning, Mayor!!
Wonderful, comforting message, as is so every day, Your Honor.
Your Pledge of Allegiance graphic is great, too.
Another On The Road day for me, but will try to post late this afternoon.
Praying for good weather for your building project, and safety, Rus,
and success in your campaign.
Good Morning Mayor and Mrs.Mayor!
Love your pledge and I am proud to say it ,like you.
Good Morning Tom and welcome to FR Finest.
Can I sell my burkas here????
Thank you troops!
Good Morning Red and welcome to FR Finest.
We missed you at the Canteen,well I did.:)
everytime I post at canteen (which is NOT TOO OFTEN), you think I am a first time visitor & put on a fancy smancy spread. Hope this meager welcome will let you know we are most happy to have you here. And I wouldn't be a burka candidate. I am always hot in the normal clothes I wear & in summer get by with bathing suits all the time around the place. I am afraid I would NOT cut it as a Mideastern lady
Thank you for your daily devotion today. It was just what I needed!
