A New Year to Celebrate Life

The more years we live, the more wisdom and perspective we have to see life in new and beautiful ways. When we look in the mirror and see wrinkles and grey hair, we need to remember - it IS a gift to be alive.  

Many of us fear growing older for physical reasons. Aging is often seen as a loss of control. Maybe our bodies aren’t able to do what they once could; our memories aren’t as sharp; we begin to need more help than we used to. As the years pass, our fear of the unknown may grow stronger.

Truth is, we’ve never been in control! From the moment we were created - whether we realized it or not - we’ve relied on our Creator for every breath. Growing older helps us shed the illusion of control and to rest in the promises of our loving God. Whether we’re 9 or 90, God vows to be with us every step of the way

"I will be the same until your old age, and I will bear you up when you turn gray. I have made you, and I will carry you; I will bear and rescue you." (Isaiah 46:4 CSB)

Cherish your laugh lines, remember how they were created.
