In my golden years,
my faith is mightier
my hope grows steadier
my trust gets sturdier.
The body gets weaker,
the mind is foggier
the memory grows poorer
the recollection’s fewer.
My beliefs root deeper,
my strength gets stronger
my doubts move further
my fears get lesser.
The eyes get dimmer,
the knees are creakier
the spine gets stiffer
the muscles softer.
God gets bigger,
the world gets smaller
the Lord grows nearer
my worries calmer.
In my golden years,
I am more aware . . .
God’s still concerned
about my welfare!
~~~~~
“Cast me not off
in the time of old age;
forsake me not when
my strength faileth.”

They are looking to be a challenge in all ways but spiritually 🙂

Thank you Cheri. I sit at my desk with my Bible and computer and read and study for hours each day. My posts reflect what God puts on my heart for the day. As I post I pray that God will use them to encourage “just one” in their faith and walk with Him. ~ Have a blessed day with Jesus ~

Yes, I am finding that as I journey down the path of the “golden years” I am moving a whole lot slower! But, in the slowed down pace my faith just seems to get stronger and stronger. ~ Have a blessed day with Jesus ~
