No, we aren't the same, but we aren't supposed to be. Age has its merits, especially when we've allowed God to grow us spiritually and in wisdom.

But I'm not supposed to be. Sometimes I linger some on how I used to cycle every day and for miles. Now i know I can't do it everyday as I once did nor for as many miles. But I'm okay with that because God has still given me the health to do what I love to do. I'm going to have to post my picture. I guarantee it won't look as good as yours. Just the hair alone puts me to shame.

I do, but my daughter-in-Love tells me all the time that I’m gorgeous. I believe she doesn’t see what I do I. The mirror, but rather the love I have for her and the happiness she has brought me as my second daughter. This post really tuned me in to that astonishing truth. Thanks, Martha.

My husband told him that they were from worrying about all of my kids and grandchildren. He was right - I am a worrier! I still feel like 30 on the inside, though. Your Virginia is a sweetie!

The body doesn't always agree, however. But thankfully the Lord looks on the heart, and that is what lives forever (the soul, that is)...and that is our true being shining out between the lines.
