hysterical...and thought provoking....

As we age everything about our body and mind are not as sharp as they once were...No matter how hard we try to stay the aging process, it continues day by day...Kim, Momma and I don't hear accurately all the time...Momma is the worst, you can holler when she is in another room and she still can't hear...It makes for interesting conversations...You think they said something, they think you said something else and when you finally figure it all out, it's even funnier...Lately I have been meaning to say one thing and it comes out something else...For several days at Thanksgiving just about everything I said wasn't what I intended...It was absolutely hilarious and scary all at the same time...It started on the Saturday after I got back from Macon a week and 1/2 ago...I went over to Kim's to help her decorate and it was pouring down rain...I wanted to ask if it was going to be raining all week because of our upcoming trip to Macon...But instead I looked at Kim and said "Is it raining?" All the while the blinds are open and I am looking right out into the pouring rain...The look on Kim's face was priceless, she tilted her head to the side like a puppy trying to understand, with a look like she wanted to say, that has to be the dumbest question I have ever heard...And we just started laughing...Well those sort of incidences happened over and over again for at least a week or more...It makes you wonder what other breakdowns in mind and body are ahead...Anybody that says they are enjoying growing older makes me really wonder if they are telling the truth...hehehehe!!! Of course there are so many wonderful things about maturing, but that is different than the deterioration of mind and body...So many things you were uptight about in youth, just don't matter anymore...I have said it before and I will say it again, when you truly learn how to live, it's time to die...

My prayer is that we all learn how to live like God intended long before we have to leave...I can think of those whose lives are gripped with so much hate, bitterness and on and on...What a waste of time...If we spent as much time loving as we do the other negative emotions and feelings the world would be a better place...I want a clean slate with God and a clean slate with others...Not everyone is going to accept you no matter what you do...Jesus was hated and he NEVER did anything wrong...He was falsely accused, lied on, spat upon and hated to the point of murdering him...So don't think it strange when it happens to you, if with all your heart you are striving to live like Jesus...And remember good always triumphs over evil...It may be in glory that you get your justice and reward, but heaven my friend will be worth it all...No matter how loud and proud we boast of the love of God, if we don't show love in word, action and spirit to others, it's all in vain...I know we can't always have peace with those that don't want peace, but you can be at peace with God, having done all you know to do...God is able to break down all barriers if all parties will allow it to be so...Wars and rumors of wars will continue to plague our world, because when the love of God is void in the hearts of men, the only thing left is hate...We see that hate growing more hateful and violent as each day passes...The bible says he that despiseth, despiseth not man but God...So don't take it personally when you are falsely accused and hated...Rejoice for they despised Jesus also...I thank God for the peace that passeth all understanding that keeps your heart and mind, but oh how I long for PEACE that the world can't comprehend...I know that peace will be on the other side of heaven 1st and then here we will enjoy 1000 years of peace that the world refused to accept...I would to God that he would grant me peace in so many situations in this life...Peace, wonderful peace coming down from the father above, sweep over my spirit forever I pray, in fathomless billows of love...Peace and love even though a staple of the hippie generation, goes hand in hand... God's love brings peace and who doesn't want that in their life?

Something was said to me about wanting someone I love to be happy and I said I want peace...So many things in life bring everything but peace, but I am glad I know the peace speaker....I pray that those I love find peace, the peace only God can give...
