Even to your old age I am he, and to gray hairs I will carry you.

Isaiah 46:4a

At 93, I count each day I am still on earth as an extended blessing. When I awake in the morning free of pain, I realize it is another day God has given me to call, to visit, or to write to someone. It is another opportunity for me to pray for others. I have known and experienced an extra measure of God’s goodness throughout my life. He has blessed me with faith, family, friends, church, health, a home, and much, much more. When I experienced difficulties and disappointments, God always carried me through. And I know and trust that He will continue to be with me until the day when I draw my last breath on earth to awaken to the joys of heaven.

Thank Him! Praise Him!

Dear Father, help me to use my extended years and days in service to You and others. Amen.

Reflect: Reminisce and thank God for the friendship you shared with someone who has recently passed away.
