"With God's Grace Our Worst Past
Becomes Our Best Future"
Becomes Our Best Future"
When 9:00 PM
Bedtime means “living on the edge.”
I used to stay up past the midnight bell,
With stories and wild, reckless secrets to tell.
But now, I confess, it’s a whole different game—
The wild things I do are hard to explain.
Parking close to my destination
Buying comfortable clothes with no hesitation.
I look in the mirror and think with a smile,
“These fine silver highlights are really in style!”
My knees have decided to join in the chat.
They snap, and they pop, and I’m fine with that.
It’s basically music, a rhythm, a pep,
A built-in percussion with every step.
I forget why I went where I went,
The hours in my day wastefully spent.
I stare into the fridge … why am I here?
“What do you want for supper, my dear?”
“The adventure continues,” Hubs will say,
We get a little lost but always find a way.
A tour unexpected, a new twist to each day
Another lesson learned, come what may.
We may be older, but let’s be fair,
But with wisdom comes flair.
Still living the dream, no pressure, no strife.
Laughing my way through the Prime of My Life.

Lessons Along the Way
From the author of I Prayed for Patience: God Gave Me Children and Who Put the Vinegar in the Salt
Life is a series of adventures. And each adventure shows us more about our God … his power manifested or his gentle patience demonstrated.
God is with us through the mundane and the miraculous, always teaching us how to experience him fully and lean on him every day.
As in the hymn of old, God leads along—sometimes through troubled waters, sometimes through fire, and sometimes by quiet streams. Always, he is with us, directing us, guiding us, and teaching us what obedience, trust, and love truly mean.
Adapted from her long-running newspaper column, each devotional is a revelation of one of God’s many blessings.
