Turning "81"



Turning 81 years old isn’t so bad when you think of the alternative. There are a lot of blessings besides that all important senior citizen discount, so I thought I would bring a few to mind….

How do I know that God loves me?
Let me count the ways……..
In my youth I needed to have my hair thinned,
Now as I age He does it for me at no cost.
As I age he helps me to maintain my body fat, that
way if I get ill, I will have enough stored, to see me
through until I have an  appetite again.
Oh, Yes….I am not bothered any more by loud noises,
as I hardly hear them at all, in fact I hear less and less
as time goes by.
As far as seeing,  I am able to see well enough to read
And drive, but don’t see near as much of the dust and dirt
that used to keep me so busy.  Most of all I know He loves me
because He said He would never leave me nor forsake me, and
That is a 24-7 promise.
To be around me that much He’d Have to love me…!!!!!!!!!
