AN OLD KID

This was my wife riding the zip line at Fort

Rock Family camp when she was around 

70 years old.  Yes, she was a kid at heart.

My wife was an inspiration in many ways.

She was a hard worker and had little use for

lazy people.  Because of her declining health

she decided she would retire when she got

to 80 years old.  No, she did not make it.

She passed away when she was only 78

years old.

But even then, she was scheduled to work the

day she passed away.  I went into the bedroom

to see why she was not getting up.  She had 

passed away during the night sometime.

She had turned herself over to Jesus Christ

in mid life and the last half of her life she

spent living for God the best she knew how.

She reminded me of the Scripture in the 

Psalms where it say's;

"But the godly will flourish like palm trees

and grow strong like the cedars of Lebanon."

.........

"Even in old age they will still produce fruit;

they will remain vital and green."

(Psalms 92:12 & 14 NLT)

Why do so many of us when we get old want to

retire and spend our time being entertained in 

one way or anther when we could still be doing

something worth while?
