I have had several things happen this week that have left me with the “getting older sucks” feeling. I woke up this morning with that thought and then started thinking that yes, getting older does come with its cons, but it is filled with many more pros. So I started making a list and thought I would share it here…
Con: I have wrinkles and a few freaking age spots.
Pro: Knowledge that God sees me as he created me… he sees me through a veil of his son’s blood and through that I am beautiful and perfect.
Con: More people I know die.
Pro: Knowledge that God is in control. He knows what He is doing. His grace is sufficient to carry me through and anyone else who calls on Him.
Con: I see more tragedy.
Pro: See above. His grace is SUFFICIENT.
Con: I heard the words “inconclusive mammogram.”
Pro: See above again. His GRACE is sufficient.
Con: Due to genetics passed down (thanks mom!) I have to have a colonoscopy next month.
Pro: See above once again. HIS grace is sufficient.
Con: I have more people disappoint me. Fall off the pedestal that I have put them on.
Pro: Knowledge that God won’t disappoint me. He won’t fall off of the pedestal I have Him on. His love is pure and unconditional. His grace IS sufficient.
I think I will add to this list as my days go on, but I have a feeling I know the pro to each con that comes my way. His grace is sufficient for me…. His grace is sufficient FOR YOU.
