To two residents I've grown to love:
Sometimes I think about what it'll be like to be old - to look back on my life and hope I spent my years well. I've met so many types of elderly people, and I wonder who I'll be like...
This is what I hope.
I pray I'm like you.
When I am your age, I pray I'm as beautiful as you are.
I pray I'll have a love for the Lord that is deeply visible. I pray that I'll continue to see the good things in life - that I'll show God's love by being truly thankful. I pray that I'll still speak of God's goodness, and pray for others, and encourage those around me. I pray that others will say of me, "She's a joy to be with. I wish we had more people like her," like they do you. I pray others will see Jesus in me, like I see Him in you. I see Him so clearly in you.
For now I'll continue to walk this life ahead of me. I'll seek to be joyful - to be in step with my Lord... I wanted you to know that though I haven't had the pleasure of knowing you long -
You have made an impact on me.
Proverbs 16:31
31
Gray hair is a crown of splendor;
it is attained in the way of righteousness.
~Ophelia - Marie
