I wake up every morning with expectation of something new, though at 76, my body tells me differently. I do not listen, I just unlearn what I have been taught would come with age.
Renewal is an amazing journey, but one that requires letting go of what was once held as treasure. Maybe I'm describing wisdom, that lady with whom Solomon struggled at times, and danced with at others.
The good news is that I am not afraid to share my thoughts, even my fears, which seems rare. Especially when after years of time in conversation with younger men and women, I am now being told of seeds sown.
A young leader now in his fifties, just yesterday, shared with me his memiors and there in a couple chapters I saw my name and his well thought-out description of the impact our times together had made in the life of this current community leader.
Tears welled up as I read, thinking how dear the journey has been, and how powerful the seeds will be as he now sows, perhaps ever expanding, even to a thousand generations!
"Therefore know that the LORD your God, He is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and mercy for a thousand generations with those who love Him and keep His commandments".
Deuteronomy 7:9.
New every morning, great is thy faithfulness!
