The little girl was so excited. They were at Disney World and she was going to ride the roller coaster on Space mountain.



She had been warned by her father that it was fast and had sharp turns and might be too scary for her.


But she wanted to ride it anyway. And she did…three times.


The next year as she stood in line ready to ride again her father could see that she was carefully studying the signs that warn about the ride’s speed.
Finally, she turned to him and said, “Dad, I don’t want to go.”

“Why dear,” you enjoyed it so much last year.
“Yeah, I know dad. But this year I can read.”

Before you start to think about the day before you and worry about the day before you…consider the following things that probably aren’t going to happen.
You wake up face down on the pavement.

You call Suicide Prevention and they put you on hold.

You see a "60 Minutes" news team waiting in your office.

Your birthday cake collapses from the weight of the candles.

You turn on the news and they're showing emergency routes out of the city.

Your twin sister forgot your birthday.

Your car horn goes off accidentally and remains stuck as you follow a group of Hell's Angels on the freeway.

But just in case you decide you’d like to lessen the things you worry about…try some of the following
“Set aside a day 3 to 7 days from now to worry…then write the worry down and put it in a box…then when that day comes, and you pull your written worries out, you may well be surprised at how many of the things you were worried about will have been solved or you will have learned how to live with it or them.”


Sing at least once a day…it doesn’t matter whether you have a good voice or not…just the act of singing is good for your insides…

Bloom like a flower…be a positive voice in the midst of negative events…something good can be found in almost everything…so be a finder…a cotton pickin’ bloomin’ finder who having found the good in the midst of bad rushes around sharing it with all of those around you.

Daily seek out a sunrise or a sunset (both is better) and let their joyous creative moment surge over you like an incoming tide.
 
Read your Bible…it will increase your knowledge of God and that will increase your faith. You say you don’t have the time while you are using some of that time you don’t have to worry.

And as a way to improve your attitude toward worry; think of it as a rocking chair…it gives you something to do but it doesn’t get you anywhere.


The Scots have a good way of thinking they have a proverb that goes “What may be, may not be."
 
Consider that worry does nothing good for you…it certainly does not lengthen you life or improve your health.
 
“I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears” (Psalm 34:4).

AGING…DO IT RIGHT

Did you ever stop to think that your getting older is a good deed? After all, you are checking out the territory for those who are younger.



Getting older? We all are…and it’s not all bad…actually, it’s a new land of new beginnings…of learning from old mistakes…the opportunity to fine tune our mistakes so we make less of them and not quite as badly as once we did.

The joy of grading out better in the constant exams of life might be another way of putting it.

Are we wiser…we are indeed…


What is my best advice…well, it may not be my best but it is close…

Ask the question who will attend your funeral? Those who have been your closest friends…and who have you chosen…they reflect who you are…don’t they.


Would you be happier as you grow older?


Give your all to making all around you happier…


The happiest folk of any age are givers…and those who in old age still continue this blessed trait are happiest of all.


And if you have any old hates lying around…rid yourself of them…they are a cancer and you will be old and cantankerous…that is for sure…if you do nothing but harbor old angers and pout about imagined wrongs.


There is nothing as heavy as carrying a grudge.

Be happy wherever you are…if the only way you can be happy is to be in a certain place you already have begun to open the door for future unhappiness.
Reach up toward God as he reaches down to you…and then allow yourself to be led…of such is the peace that passeth understanding found.


I found it in some old notes. I don’t even remember who Robertson McQuilkin is or when I recorded his beautiful philosophy, but I must have liked it…and (in this my 82nd year) still do…"God planned the strength and beauty of youth to be physical. But the strength and beauty of age is spiritual. We gradually lose the strength and beauty that is temporary so we'll be sure to concentrate on the strength and beauty that is forever."
And then there are those classic words of Browning

Grow old along with me!
The best is yet to be,
The last of life, for which the first was made.


Our times are in His hand,
Who saith: "A whole I planned, Youth shows but half; trust God; see all, nor be afraid."

"Now also when I am old and greyheaded, O God, forsake me not; until I have shewed thy strength unto this generation, and thy power to every one that is to come."
Psalms 71:18
