Two days ago I was 84 years old and now today I am 85. Never in my wildest dreams as a young man would I have ever thought I would live this long. I'm not sure who said it, may have been Will Rogers, anyway, "If I had known I would have lived this long I would have taken better care of myself."
Reading several old posts to this blog, most of them are old since I have not written any in a while. Some of them make me a little sad as I miss my sweetheart who is with the Lord. But, others blessed me as I remember how the Lord has cared for me and lead me over mountains and through valleys as well. This reminds me of a Gospel song, I hope it blesses any who may chance to read this post as it has me.
BTW, we are coming upon the end of an old year and the beginning of a new one. Keep these words in mind as you face the challenges of 2019.
God Leads Us Along
In shady, green pastures, so rich and so sweet
God leads His dear children along
Where the water’s cool flow bathes the weary one’s feet
God leads His dear children along
Some through the waters, some through the flood
Some through the fire, but all through the blood
Some through great sorrow, but God gives a song
In the night season and all the day long
Sometimes on the mount where the sun shines so bright
God leads His dear children along
Sometimes in the valley, in darkest of night
God leads His dear children along
Though sorrows befall us and evils oppose
God leads His dear children along
Through grace we can conquer, defeat all our foes
God leads His dear children along
Away from the mire, and away from the clay
God leads His dear children along
Away up in glory, eternity’s day
God leads His dear children along
Songwriters: Burgess / Krogstad / G.A. Young
