Thanks

I know I have a lot more years behind me than I have in front of me,
And maybe that is why I am thankful for each new day I see.
I am thankful for the things I’ve seen and the places I’ve been,
But the thing I’m most thankful for is Jesus forgave me of my sins.

Yes, Ronald, we cannot help but make mistakes on our journeys through life. We're imperfect -- human -- but Jesus not only accepts us as we are, He forgives our transgressions. As we enter our later years, this forgiveness grows ever more important. Very inspiriing, Ronald! Love, Carolyn
