Getting older may be a rewarding experience for those who the Lord, desperately, seek to find since with old age the haze of carnal desires dissipates thus letting the spiritual light illumine the mind! © Demetrios Trifiatis 24 January 2020

From the day we're born our knowledge increases until we reach hopefully, a ripe old age, which enables us to see things much clearer. Enjoy your weekend. Tom

My friend, Tom, if only that were true for everybody! Things are more complicated! It is not automatic. Getting information is one thing, getting knowledge, another! Have a blessed weekend ! Thank you so much!

- Even though we may feel helpless in our present circumstances, God promises us hope in his light - He promises to illuminate the way in front of us and show the way out of the darkness ... a beautiful poem, my friend :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

Yes, so much of our life is taken up with distractions, only now do I seem to concentrate on God more intently and am glad to do so as it offers me such consolation and peace. Big Hugs, Julie xxx
