Call me crazy, but I love this growing older stuff. (So far, anyway.) Some people always talk about wanting to go back to their 20's or 30's-- not me. Uh, no.
I'd never return to the days when I spent (wasted) sorry hours meditating about what was going wrong, playing it over on the screen of my mind. The money and relationship and house problems. And then complaining to people in the key of whining and thinking 'poor, unappreciated me'. Complaining, thinking all those things, then wondering in confusion, "What's wrong with me? Why aren't I happy?"
Duh.
No, I'll stay right here, thank-you. In learning to enjoy God, I'm coming to enjoy Life. Here where, as long as I have Jesus, my days will be not just ok, but amazing--simply because He is. He brings enchantment to stay-at-home days and paint, clean and laundry ones.
You won't spy me attempting to sneak peaks into the future, either. Oh my, no. I don't want to see ahead because only when Grace is beside me can I handle my daily portion. And when it comes to the future, Grace isn't there yet to help me .
Today is better than good, even incredible because God is here in Today. No matter what else happens, His presence will be the sweetest part.

"Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you." Philippians 4:8,9
