Being 52 now i feel my life is just beginning in some respects and i used to worry that id miss something if i waited to long but God is a God of second chances and can use anyone wherever they are in life. As a person with a disability crebral palsy i used to think oh well God wont use me until im healed but God truely does use what would seem less than usual to show himself strong and ive even been told that i sold myself short by the Lord Praise God that its him in me that makes me who i am as a man of God.....so i hope that speaks to the rest of you as well in some way if you needed the lifting up.

Also one nice thing about getting older is you generally have more time to enjoy life and experience God as you spend more time in his word and in his presence. And those grey hairs come with more wisdom because God promises it in his word and he is sure to do what he said he would.

I gotta say unless God has other plans im done gaining muscle anymore in the gym but thats ok. "physical training is of some value..."

1 Timothy 4:8 New International Version (NIV) For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.
