So maybe, just maybe I find myself not ready to meet Him wanting to somehow correct or do better before that day. That's forgetting His love for me and knowing I'm only still here because He must believe I can still be used by Him! Just as your mom, my time on earth is limited by years now that I'm 70 but so far I've found being a senior citizen is only a word and I'm filled with wonder at His love for me and what I can still do because of Him and that love, so Mom, join me in the fun here and we'll play together one day with our King....Nb Krista,

Oh, to be a child again accepting God's grace at face value, and wanting to see Jesus face to face in heaven, now! Turning 65 yesterday has put me in a funk. I'm not ready to join the senior citizen ranks and be treated as old. I must admit I have been dealing with my own mortality the past 24 hours. I think I need an Isabelle and Maddie "fix"! Love, MOM Krista,
