So glad you came to The Finest Family Room, JD!!

However, I must point out Google is merely a repository for pictorial stuff - -
not a Political Entity/Press Pusher/Stealth Hajadeen..:))

It usually accommodates our appetite for visual aids,
if you refine it to suit your needs.

Jack Deth doth write much
that is worthy of praise serving it
with much zeal and gusto

You are exactly right! I didn't see anything in there for the Veterans.

The Right Focus

Read:
Psalm 90

Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom. —Psalm 90:12

Bible In One Year: James 1-2

cover We call life's older years the "sunset years." But are they really that rosy? For some, they are. But for many others, even Christians, the sunset years may become clouded with bitterness or despair.

To minimize this, we must make it our goal early in life to get the right focus. Robert Kastenbaum understood this. He wrote, "I do feel an increased sense of responsibility to this future self and to all those who cross my path. What kind of old man will I be, given the chance? The answer to that question depends largely on the kind of person I am right now."

As I have observed contented older people, I've learned that it is our focus more than our feelings that determines the sort of people we are. I once visited a godly woman in her nineties who was feeling her age in every joint and organ. "Old age ain't for sissies!" she groaned honestly. Then, as always, her groans gave way to praise for God's goodness. A focus of gratitude, begun early in life, parted the clouds and let the sun shine through.

What is your focus today, regardless of your feelings? Is it one of gratitude for Jesus and His gift of eternal life? If so, you'll grow sweeter as you grow older. —Joanie Yoder

We can be young in heart and mind,
To others we can yet be kind,
Sing songs of praise to God through tears,
And grow in grace through all our years. —Zimmerman

What you will be tomorrow depends on the choices you make today.

FOR FURTHER STUDY
Finishing Well
