"Yesterday Is Gone Today Is Now End Of Quote"

                                Bird with spread wings flying high. 8-25-2019 Perryton, TX

While watching the clouds this afternoon due to a storm report, I caught a shot of this bird just as it started to fly. Seldom ever do I get a shot like that. Birds are faster than sound, and unless they are perched for a time, I can't get a picture of them. I had already missed a shot of one of the most beautiful birds I had ever seen. It landed less than a second, and I was so disappointed when I didn't get it's picture.

It's football season now, and my street is fixing to get extremely busy. Practice field is just across the street from my house. Cars line the streets with parents watching their boys practice. They bring lawn chairs, and ice coolers. I used to be one of them, but now even my grandsons are past that age. I can't seem to stop the time from flying by. But I am not ready to admit that I'm getting old. I'm just getting more freedom all the time. No one needs me any more, so I'm good to go my own way. Go when I get ready, and come home when I get ready. Some of the best years of my life. God didn't forget to stop blessing me. I find Him sweeter each day of my life. His Word now seems to be ice cream garnished with cherry syrup. It used to be more like beef steak, hard to chew, but that's all changed. It was time for my dessert finally. “Thank You Lord Jesus.”

Even all the evil news on television seems less troublesome now. I have been warned of the bad things that will be happening, so I am ready to leave it in God's hands. He said the battle is not ours, but His. I'm here if He needs me, but I believe He has told me to occupy now till He calls me home. I have fun things planned for my future. I know I am shielded by His great almighty power. I will still be shedding tears, especially for those like the little four year old boy I heard about this week who's parents had decided to change him into a girl. Their commit was, “ we're so glad we did it.” The innocent always have to suffer with the guilty, which is something I am still trying to understand. I believe I have just recently been delivered from much agony, and pain about so much evil that is dominating our world today. The lord knew when I had had enough, and He gave me scripture to stand upon. I believe the next sad phase in my life will be when God says “Welcome home, thy good and faithful servant, enter into thy rest.” It will not be sad for me, but for my children, and grandchildren. I can remember too well how it was with me when God called my loved ones home. It is still hard, but help is always there when I ask God for it. God is good to all His children.

God Bless
