The Winter of Our Lives
The cold of winter has come upon us. We know that the seasons must change and therefore the temperature will change.
There are other winters that come into our lives as we grow older.
This was written for the residents at the Palmer House at UPMC when the Women’s Aglow Chapter of McKeesport went out to minister to and just share a little time and love with them and I thought I would share it in “The Well” with all of our wonderful readers.
When we come into the winter of our lives
We often find that what use to be fast has now become slow
We then look around and what use to be high has now become low.
In the winter of our lives
What used to be tight is now very loose and what use to be loose is now too tight
Then the things that seemed so wrong now look a little right
But I guess that’s because we need a lot more light.
We look in the mirror and find that we have lost a little hair
The next thing you know it’s a struggle to climb the stairs.
Days become faster and nights become longer
While we lay there and pray,
“Dear Lord, in the morning, please let me be stronger.”
But as we enter the winter of our lives
One thing we can be assured of
Each morning as we rise
God will always be there as we open up our eyes
Although we are in the winter of our lives and have lost a little hair and we struggle so climbing those stairs,
God’s love for us will stay the same
And we thank Him that it will always remain.
