It is
Tuesday, January 22, 2013, another day to rise and shine and give God the glory. While I am not one who knows how to act my age, I have been reviewing some of the ways you can tell that you are joining the older generation. Therefore, since I am a public minded citizen, I want to share a few signs or indicators that show you might be edging toward that age defined designation. These actually come from a website from Scotland. You might be headed for old geezer territory if: 1) You and your teeth no longer sleep together. 2) You try to straighten the wrinkles in your socks only to find out you are not wearing any. 3) You wake up in the morning looking exactly like your driver's license photo. 4) Your concept of happy hour involves taking a nap. 5) Your idea of weight lifting has to do with standing up. 6) Nearly everything hurts and what doesn't hurt - - - doesn't work. 7) You finally get your head together at a time when your body is falling apart. These are intended to bring a chuckle because growing older is the way God designed life to be lived out. And, it is to be pursued, one day at a time.
Psalms 118:24: This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. ~
Benjamin Franklin: One today is worth two tomorrows. ~
Will Rogers: Never let yesterday use up too much of today. ~
Dale Carnegie: Today is life - the only life you are sure of. Make the most of today. Get interested in something. Shake yourself awake. Develop a hobby. Let the winds of enthusiasm sweep through you. Live today with gusto. ~
William Arthur Ward: God gave you a gift of 86,400 seconds today. Have you used one to say thank you? ~
Cavett Robert: If you don't think every day is a good day, just try missing one. ~
Norman Vincent Peale: It's always too early to quit. ~
Yogi Berra: It gets late early out there. ~
Ephesians 5:15-16: Look therefore carefully how ye walk, not as unwise, but as wise; redeeming the time, because the days are evil. ~
Lord Chesterfield: Know the true value of time; snatch, seize, and enjoy every moment of it. No idleness, no delay, no procrastination; never put off till tomorrow what you can do today. ~
Beloved hymn by Anna L. Coghill: 2nd Verse, Work, for the night is coming. Work through the sunny noon: Fill brightest hours with labor, Rest comes sure and soon. Give every flying minute, Something to keep in store; Work, for the night is coming, When man works no more. ~
I love that give every flying minute, something to keep in store. I believe it has to do with our efforts today in producing positive results that bring fulfillment both now and later as we store them up for recall and reflection. I know the word aggregator has come mostly to mean the use of software in the digital realm to collect and assemble information. It is not typically used to describe an individual but in many ways that is what I find myself trying to do. Whether it be from my own experiences in life, the use of thus says the word of the Lord from His Holy Book, or the instructional and inspirational thoughts of others, I would say that I mostly do the work of an aggregator of information, distributed to inform, encourage, and to perhaps bring a word of cheer from time to time. This is of course not to be confused with the word alligator. As in, "I deny the allegation and defy the alligator." Or something like that. Bottom line: As God provides, grab hold of today and make something of it. I might even try that myself. Take care now and may God bless each one. Amen. .....More later.
