No
matter
how old
you are,
you
should
take a
moment
and read
this.....
You may
not
believe
it, but
it is
about
you -
You
know,
time has
a way of
moving
quickly
and
catching
you
unaware
of the
passing
years.
It seems
just
yesterday
that I
was a
young
girl,
just
married
and
embarking
on my
new life
with my
husband.
And yet
in a
way, it
seems
like
eons
ago, and
I wonder
where
all the
years
went.
I
know
that I
lived
them
all...
And I
have
glimpses
of how
it was
back
then and
of all
my hopes
and
dreams...
But,
here it
is...the
winter
of my
life and
it
catches
me by
surprise...
How
did I
get here
so fast?
Where
did the
years go
and
where
did my
babies
go?
And
where
did my
youth
go?
I
remember
well...
seeing
older
people
through
the
years
and
thinking
that
those
older
people
were
years
away
from me
and that
winter
was so
far off
that I
could
not
fathom
it or
imagine
fully
what it
would be
like...
But,
here it
is...husband
retired
yesterday
and he's
really
getting
gray...
he
moves
slower
and I
see an
older
man now.
He's in
much
better
shape
than
me...but,
I see
the
great
change...
Not the
one I
married
who was
dark and
young
and
strong...
but,
like me,
his age
is
beginning
to show
and we
are now
those
older
folks
that we
used to
see and
never
thought
we'd be.
Each day
now, I
find
that
just
getting
a shower
is a
real
target
for the
day!
And
taking a
nap is
not a
treat
anymore...it's
mandatory!
Cause if
I don't
on my
own free
will...I
just
fall
asleep
where I
sit!
And so,
now I
enter
into
this new
season
of my
life
unprepared
for all
the
aches
and
pains
and the
loss of
strength
and
ability
to go
and do
things.
But, at
least I
know,
that
though
the
winter
has
come,
and I'm
not sure
how long
it will
last...
This
I know,
that
when
it's
over...I
will
enjoy
the
Spring
in the
arms of
my
loving
Father...
and
wait for
my loved
ones to
come
when
their
winter
is over
too...
So, if
you're
not in
your
winter
yet...
let
me
remind
you,
that it
will be
here
faster
than you
think.
So,
whatever
you
would
like to
accomplish
in your
life
please
do it
quickly!
Our life
is but a
vapor,
it
vanished
away...
So,
do what
you can
today,
because
you can
never be
sure
whether
this is
your
winter
or not!
You have
no
promise
that you
will see
all the
seasons
of your
life...
so, live
your
life to
the
fullest
each day
and say
all the
things
that you
want
your
loved
ones to
remember.

beautiful

drop me

I would
love to
give
'credit

credit

Dance
like
nobody's
watching;
love
like
you've
never
been
hurt.
Sing
like
nobody's
listening;
live
like
it's
heaven
on
earth."
Surrounded
by Your
glory,
what
will my
heart
feel?
Will I
dance
for you,
Jesus,
or in
awe of
You be
still?
Will I
stand in
Your
presence,
or to my
knees
will I
fall?
Will I
sing
hallelujah,
will I
be able
to speak
at all?
I can
only
imagine.
This
morning
when I
awakened
and saw
the sun
above,
I softly
said,
"Good
morning
Lord,
bless
everyone
I love."
And
right
away I
thought
of you
and said
a loving
prayer,
that He
would
bless
you
specially,
and keep
you free
from
care.
I
thought
of all
the
happiness
a day
could
hold in
store.
I wished
it all
for you
because
no one
deserves
it more.
