Thank You!!!
We had a great family devotional this past Sunday. We had 34 in attendance. Thanks to the Curry’s for organizing the food, and also to Paul O’Rear for delivering the message for the night!
Something To Think About...
The census taker knocked on the lady’s door. She answered all his questions except one. She refused to tell him her age.
“But everyone tells their age to the census taker,” he said.
“Did Miss Maisy Hill, and Miss Daisy Hill tell you their ages?” she asked.
“Certainly,” he replied.
“Well, I’m the same age as they are,” she snapped.
The census taker simply wrote on the form, “As old as the hills.”
In 1997, a 122 year old woman in France died. She was the oldest person on the earth whose birth record could be verified. A 143 year old woman in Kenya and a 135 year old man in Lebanon don’t have birth records to verify their ages, but could easily be described with the phrase, “As old as the hills.”
But they are babies when compared to Methuselah. You recognize his name. He’s known in the Bible for one thing—being the oldest person mentioned. 969 years old! That’s a lot of years. And I think it’s sad. Not that he was so old, but because that’s what he is known for. He’s not known for his great faith, for his moral courage, or for his righteousness. He’s known for being old.
I just pray that some day I’ll be remembered, not for the number of years I lived upon this earth, but for the way that I lived while I was here.
“Gray hair is a crown of glory; it is gained in a righteous life.” (Proverbs 16:31)
