Sweet blessings,

Finding the “right” job, the “right” husband, the “right” church, dreaming of having children, fellowshipping, praying, praising, never considering the “end” other than knowing where I would be next.
Discovering that “age” can come slowly, painfully, fearfully is not something I ever considered and now at 70 I’m here. Your post was not only timely but inspiring as well, thank you for the prayer, I will take to heart your precious “Accept the New Normal” and keep your family in prayer as well. I love you.
Aunt Sherry, thank you for your precious words and prayers. While I would love to say age is only a mindset, I know the problems with age are real. But know that you are loved and cherished and forever in my prayers. ((hugs))
I do know your love for me and accept it without hesitation or reservation. Not something that has always been easy for me (as you know my background). I am finally seeking God’s purpose for my life. Do you have any thoughts? Thank you for your honesty, I trust you.
Aunt Sherry, I do love you and have been praying how to best answer you. I believe God’s purpose for each of us is to seek Him with all our hearts.
Waking up each day and asking Him, What is my assignment today? is a great way to start. You’ll know it’s Him when the answer involves loving Him or loving others. Whether it’s spending time in His Word, seeking Him in prayer, interceding for our loved ones, encouraging others, or extending a helping hand.
((hugs))
With more love than these words can contain,
Crystal
