3 Weddings and a Couple Doctor Appointments

I just returned from 3 weddings of nieces and nephews. And although I don't anicipate a funeral, ironically I had appointments this week with a cardiologist and a orthopaedist. (Nothing serious in either department - routine check with the former, working on a bum shoulder with the latter). However, seeing these young folks get married and seeing my other nieces and nephews being all growed up, having Rebekah finish college, etc. You just can't help but ponder the movement of time!

A colleague told me that on his annual checkup when he turned 50, the doctor warned him that the body is designed to last 50 years, so things will likely start going wrong. Hmmm. At 48, that does give me pause to thought. Another generation enters the scene with excitement and potential. Most of the young folks at the weddings were solid believers, desiring to serve God. I see the generation above me in their twilight years, some already with the Lord. Many who are also solid believers who have allowed themselves to be used mightily by God.

The winds of change come and go. Fads, fashions, wars, kingdoms. But God will always raise up a new generation to carry His word in their hearts and to live it in their actions.
