Getting Old Is Not For Wimps

They say getting old is not for wimps.  But a wimp I am. 

I can see why this could be true.  I can no longer perform the physical feats I once could do.

But I think life is better when you get old.  Because I don’t care…I don’t care what anyone thinks about me.

It no longer matters that I never amounted to much.  Now the stress that accompanied that egotistical idea is gone. 

It took me a lifetime to figure out that God loves me…Yes…God loves me…and Jesus proved it.

Now my main concern is not disappointing God…this is a far less stressful situation than trying to please the world.

Dear Lord Jesus

Although a wimp I may be

Now I place my trust in Thee

I never did amount to much

But now I long for your loving touch.

This world is such a scary place

I much prefer your smiling face.

I am getting old but do not care

I am looking forward to being there.

I pray this prayer in your sight

Give me courage for the fight.

Help this wimp run the race

Please fill my heart with your grace.

Amen
