on turning seventy

I don't feel seventy but then again I didn't "feel" 50 or 60.

Also, feelings are subject to change without warning.

I am well into my grandmother years.

One of the best things I've ever done!

I love being Grammy.

I love to decorate.

All things that make our home beautiful 

make me happy.

I love flowers.

I love to eat good food.

I love for our family to be gathered around the big farm table.

I love the holidays.

And yes, the ocean is still my very favorite place to be.

At seventy I am early to bed ~ early to rise.

Most nights I sleep like a log.

Most mornings will find me in front of the fire with a cup of coffee....

well into God's word by 6:15 am. 

I love watching our children raise their children.

They are a gift from the Lord.

One of my most cherished blessings.

Worshipping at our church every Sunday makes me happy.

Singing, hearing God's word proclaimed,

and fellowshipping with other believers

is a small taste of what heaven will be like.

My life is much quieter now.

I'm learning what's important and what's not.

I like quiet.

I am dealing with my first major illness.

(see previous post)

I am very, very thankful for my husband.

Many of my friends have lost their's

and it makes me so sad for them.

Reading is my passion.

Writing is a second passion.

I love words!

I love memories of the life I've lived.

I often think about the people and places that have made up the journey of my life.

Such sweet musings!!!

At seventy I am content!

That is a good thing.

I love my life!

Whatever God brings my way 

I know is from Him

 and I know that He will see me through to a good end.

"He has put eternity in my heart."
