Strange thoughts come as I get older; where they come from I can't guess. |
Everlasting Thoughts Strange thoughts come as I get older; where theyāre from, I canāt even guess. Perhaps itās ācause the end is nearer - too close for comfort, I confess. Take for instance, just last Sunday, as I dozed in the last pew, the preacher woke me with a shout and said, āHereās what Heās promised YOU!ā āGifts eternal, everlasting ā¦ of course not now,ā he then intoned. It made me stop and think a while. Why should His gifts be postponed? Perhaps Heād preview his promise, something more concrete than dreams, a bit of āeverlastingā now. (Iām descended from doubting Thomas, it seems.) How about fixing my memory so I remember what Iāve just read or not search the rooms in my house to find my glasses perched on my head? Too much? Something smaller would work besides helping me find my lost keys. Iād love to get up in the morning without it being a pain in my ā¦ knees. My kids call every so often. Iām their bank, a source for their loans. Would it really be too much to ask, āPlease, break all of their phones?ā OK ā I finally get it ā the Bible, it seems, is the teacher and Iāll try not to nap anymore ācause Iām keeping an eye on the preacher! Notes: An entry for July round of "SENIOR CENTER FORUM" Prompt: Must use the word āeverlasting.ā Thank you for taking time to read my words. I would appreciate it if you took a moment and left a comment. Your reaction, impressions, criticisms, - yes, even praise - are all equally welcome. |
