We spent the last two days in Norman with our granddaughter while she had knee surgery. She had several friends come over after surgery , and being around all these young people made me fill OLD. Then I read the following:
Not Finished Yet!
We need a new button, t-shirt, bumper sticker or cap that reads...NFY! It stands for Not Finished Yet!
Regardless of the label people put on you (senior, baby-boomer, retired person), regardless of the number of birthdays you've celebrated, you are still here. And as long as you are here, you are not there, and as long as you are not there, it means God still has a purpose for you here.
When Jesus was on the cross, the last thing He said was, "It is finished." After He made that statement, He died. When is God's purpose for you on this earth finished? It is finished when you die... until then, you are not finished yet!
NFY!We want to thank you for your support through your prayers, calls, e-mails and finances. For those of you who knew about Lydia's knee surgery, we thank you so much for your prayers and are rejoicing that the situation with her medial meniscus was repaired and she was able to put weight on it almost immediately. Pain has been present, but not as bad as it could have been.
Does the thought of getting older discourage you or make you fearful? Consider these words the Lord spoke to Isaiah: I will be your God throughout your lifetime--until your hair is white with age. I made you, and I will care for you. Isaiah 46:4
-Devotional excerpt by Roy Lessin, from his blog Meet Me In The Meadow.
Winston Churchill wisely said, "We make a living by what we get; we make a life by what we give."
Have a great day, love you, pass it on.
