Last summer, an elder I became...

New revelations were promptly downloaded to my brain...

I can now see past the trees to the forest...

I am perpetually-blinded by the beauty on the horizon...

Far from the broad path and no longer lurking in the shadows...

High upon the mountaintop, looking down...

The Lord gently carrying me in HIS welcoming arms...ย 

For that, I am forever grateful and perpetually calm...

HIS love and protection, my soul's balm...

Author's Note: Last summer I turned the Big 50 and officially became an elder, y'all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿพ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿฉท๐ŸŒธย 

There are so many privileges of being an elder, like:

  • 50 Years of Wisdom
  • 50 Years of Knowledgeย 
  • 50 Years of Success
  • 50 Years of Triumphย 
  • 50 Years of Growth
  • 50 Years of Determination

&

  • 50 Years of God's Protection

**Contrary to popular belief, Iย believe that the decade of the 50s is still primetime. I've even heard the decades of the 50s be called the teenagehood of old people!ย I guess that the decade of the 50s is seen that way because most of us still have our independence and rebellious spunk, but our bodies are reminding us that it's becoming more difficult to do that cartwheel or long jump that we could do perfectly at 8! Lol ๐Ÿคฃ

Let us all celebrate where our age falls.

We are ALL here for a special reason!ย 

Happy Weekend, Friends! ๐Ÿ˜š๐Ÿคธ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿคธ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿคธ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿคธ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿง‘๐Ÿพโ€๐Ÿฆฑ๐Ÿ‘ˆ๐ŸพThey have a new fro emoji now, how cute! Lol :)))
