Old? What's that?

Old...what is it?



Is it the same as 'Antiquated'?.. (Old fashioned/ outdated)



How about 'Obsolete'?... (that which has fallen into disuse)



'Old ' is anyone's opinion. Some folks think , "I've had my day I 've been used up. I'm outdated, can't get around good anymore. In fact I think I will just sit down on the curb of life and watch the parade go by."



Hey! You may sit there and watch it but we who have the Ancient of Days inside of us, we ARE the parade that 'old folks' are watching.



We are the ones who have joy in our hearts and a little hip-hop in our 'git-along.' We are the ones who laugh at ourselves when we squat down and can't get out of it.



We are the ones who know that 'everything is going to come out in the wash' as they used to say. Now that we know the Lord of The Word, we say, "He is going to turn everything into good...let's go ahead and praise Him in the middle of the storm."



Or your may have a more spiritually mature definition for the word 'old'; mature in judgement, wise, able to give good advice, an 'Elder'. One who IS able to lead due to a lifetime of experience, having REALIZED THAT THE GOD WHOM THEY DID NOT KNOW, WAS ACTUALLY WATCHING OVER THEM, DELIVERING THEM, KEEPING THEM TO AN 'OLD' BUT FRUITFUL AGE.



Warts, wrinkles, slowness of gait all speak of the goodness of God, that He saw our worth and determined that the world still needed what we have to give.



Wow! This is good stuff, isn't it? If you think so, show it! And to all of you ladies that keep your face glued to the mirror, looking for signs of 'old age', if you live long enough, ugly is going to happen in the physical, but I guarantee you, if you let the love of Jesus shine through you, you will have a twinkle in your eyes that no mascasra can duplicate, a smile that no wrinkle cream can take away, a loving touch that will last forever...



You will have that unexplainable magnetism that people will be drawn to and they will never see you as, old, antiquated or obsolete.



That's it!



Love,
