Young at Heart

I have worked hard to get a good education.
I have been successful in my chosen field.
I have raised my family and seen them build homes of their own.
But now I am facing a change...
like a butterfly bursting from it’s cocoon.

Yes, my body is growing older,
but, silly as it sounds, I am still thirteen on the inside.
My mind still dances in a field of daisies
and I long to play leap-frog with my grandchildren.
At the same time I can’t remember where I put the car keys
or climb the small hill in my back yard!
In the midst of all of this the Lord has provided a New Place for me.
A place to grow,
A place of adventure,
And a place for a young heart.


Lord, help me explore this wonderful, New Place in my life.

"Watch for the new thing I am going to do.
It is happening already -
you can see it now!
I will make a road through the wilderness
and give you streams of water there."
Isaiah 43:19 Good News Bible
