Oh Lordy, to be Forty! How Nifty to be Fifty!
I remember when I was a kid. I use to see the elderly ladies being helped across the street by the boy scouts.
I thought those ladies were like, FORTY years old! And I mumbled to myself, "I don't want to be that old." OMG!!!!!!
When I was 39 you better believe I had long conversations with the Lord about my bad math, and thoughtless request. (Grace)
I realized that those ladies must have been around 150 years old at least. LOL
So, I asked the Lord to resend my request. (Mercy, please!) You can imagine my delight the day after my 40th birthday that He let me live! Thank you, God!
It is funny. The older I get, the older... OLD is. I am not old. And I love being in my 50's. I wonder how old I look to my sons? Probably decrepit! LOL Maybe that is why they look at me funny when I bust a move... you know...dance like no body's looking.
Hummm I think I still got it on this side of fifty! Thank you, God.
