"OLD SHOES"

...Isiah-46:4...

 

 



'' It is a general belief of the Indians that after a man dies his spirit is somewhere on earth
or in the sky, We do not know exactly where, but we are sure that his spirit still lives. So it is with ''Wakantanka''..( Great Spirit ). We believe that He is everywhere, yet He is to us as the spirits of our friends, whose voices we can not hear.''   ''Chased by Bears'' ...Santee Yanktonai Sioux

Top O' the Morning!...
Let's Start off this ''Cold'' Morning with a Good O'l ''Cup O' Joe'',.not to
forget to put on your warm 'fuzzies' and roll up in a soft 'Comforter',..No!..a Blanket,..the
''Holy Spirit'' in these words will follow!

This Morning I'm going to do a ''Lighthearted'' little message,..a Message of what is called the
''Old Age Syndrom!''... Enjoy this little ''Diddy'' of Humor, as You nestle up to that warm cup
of your favorite libation!...

Old Age,..the ''Geritol'' age,..the ''End of the Line'',..Call it what You will,..We All head for it
one way or another!..

I do Services for a Group of Pearl Harbor Survivors and World War Two Men and Women,.Great
Bunch!....As the put it,..They Each ''Won the War!''....Shows You their ''Spunk''..and Attitude!...

All over their 80's and 90's,..I would NOT want to back 'Any-One' of Them against the wall,..
They think that 80 means ''20''...and 90 means ''21!''....Talk about ''Friskie!''....They can still
''Cut the Rug'' when O'l Glenn Miller plays a song!...

Now there's One Guy,..I'll call Him 'Jack',..a Navy Corpman,..When You look into His O'l Blue's,..
''Eye's'...They still have that ''Sparkle''...Cut's right through you!..About Growing Old,..
He once told Me...''Growing Old Graciously should be One of Your Goals, Don't need to Fear Aging!
Instead of Acting Old by adding years to Your Life,..Try Adding Life to Your Years!''

Pretty sharp for a ''Warrior'' in His 90's Don't ya think!..Even He said that God keeps some of Us
Around for a reason,...I Believe not only the ''Knowledge'' He shares,. including having His ''Crew''
go from School to School and sharing the ''Living History'' that Students need so much is What keeps
Him and the ''Crew'' so Young!

Isaiah-46:4..''Even in Your Old Age, Will I Carry You.''

God puts out a pretty clear message with that one!..

Then there's another ''Old Warrior'' I met at the ''Old Soldier's Home.''....This Guy at '97' was a ''Hoot!''

In a Wheelchair,..not 'confined' mind you,..He grab's My arm,..''Preacher''...sit a spell,..I wan't to ''Jaw''
with ya and enlighten You to something I found out about ''A Gitten Old!'' O.K. I reply,.pulling up a chair,..
''Preacher!,..When We was Born,..We had No hair,..No teeth and Wore Diapers!''...He gives Me a Big Wink
and Flashes a 'Pink' set of Gum's,..or as He called it a ''Toothless'' Grin...Do Ya follow Me 'Parson?' Yup
I say waiting for the ''punchline'',....Well,.We learn to Crawl,..then to Walk and everything along the Path
is just a 'Learning' experience,..You know,..a Preparation of sorts, a Journey in Life...Then,..after All That
Preparation,.Were ''Old!...Were back to ''Square One!''...''No hair,..No Teeth and Back in Diapers!''

With a ''Hoot'' of a Laugh, He slaps Me on the back just laughing as hard as He could!...

''Hmmmmm'' come to think about it,...Is that ''Our Destiny?''

Then there's the ''Senior Lady'',who was shopping for a hat,..''Oh my dear, it makes You look ten years younger!''
Her friend told Her!...She put it back,..Why?..Because She didn't wan't to look ''Old'' when She took it off
She replied!

Psalm-71:9..''Cast me not off in the time of ''Old Age.''

I think I'll stick with ''Doc Jack's'' Perspective,..He can't sit down,.not just yet,..Why He still Fly's small planes
or at least He was up in a ''Fighter'' riding 'Shot-Gun'' last Year!..

Your ''Golden Years'' can be the 'Greatest Years'' of Your Life!...Why,..after a ''Thirty Year'' stint in the Post
Office,.I Started the 'Second Half' of My Life By getting Married and Starting this Ministry,..Work Harder
now and Never looked back!...

Each Day is a Step Farther Away from the Past,.and a Step Closer to the Future,..or Your Destiny.''

You can do All the things You ever wanted or Dreamed about,..You Have ''Time!'' Stay up late, watch t.v.,
take naps or long walks,..eat what you want,..Although You might ''Pay Later!''...''Good Grief!''

After talking to ''Our Grateful Generation'' of Men and Women who built this Nation,..I've come to the
Conclusion that...As We ''Grow Old'',.In Our Walk of Life, or Walk of Faith,..Might say,..''Walk a Mile
in My Shoe's'' before You Judge Me,..Well, We do not become ''Worn out like an Old Shoe''..but We
Become ''Well Worn'' with Life Experience,..Hard Work,..High Moral's and Standard's that these Great
Men of Our History Past have Passed Down to Us Generation after Generation.

So, Let it be said that Our ''Elder's who have laid down the Foundation of this Great Nation are like a
''Good Cup of Coffee, Good till the Last Drop''...For Us ''New Senior's'', put some ''Zing'' into that Cup,...
Revive Your Youth,...HOW?....

Genesis-25 speaks of old men and women, full of years..''Filled to the brim'' like that coffee cup full of life.

Another note on this before I go get a ''Refill'' of my cup,..All of Us take time to read the ''Paper'',..or a
good book,...Grab that O'L ''Dust Buster'' the Bible,.take time out each day,.read a paragraph or two,..15 min.
You'll be ''Enlightened'' and catch up on All the Latest News,..thats right,..read about things of the ''Past''
as they happen Now,..History Is repeating itself...Again!...

Hey!,.Gotta go refill my ''Cup O' Joe!''..to the 'Brim!''...I 'll leave You with these ''Parables''..something to
have with Your 'Coffee!'...

''Life is a ''Gift'' from God,..to be lived for God.''

''The only way to survive in a world of deception, is by trusting the One who will never deceive us.''

''We don't need to put our house in order before Jesus comes in, He puts it in order After we let Him in!''

Well,..My Bone's are ''aching'',.means's I gotta stand up and move around a bit, and that ''Grumbling'' is
telling me it's time for some 'nourishment!'...Old Age signs?..Naw,..soon,.not yet though!

Sherrie and I pray for All of You,..Our Warrior's and Our Great Nation America..

May God Hold His Hand of Comfort over Our 'Troop's' in Harm's Way,..and Close to His Heart those whom
have fallen...

May We Always be able to say..''May God Bless America''..for it is in ''God We Trust!''..AMEN!
