CHANGE

    I got up this morning enjoying myself.  My daughter has all my old photos.  She and my grandchildren were stunned on how pretty I was.  And to tell the truth, I've grieved over the losses that aging brings.  But this morning I got up and said, would I exchange who I am now for who I was then?  Would I exchange the beauty that God is creating in me now for the external beauty?  I would NOT!
    When I take a good look at the woman I used to be, and the woman I am now, I can only be grateful for what God has done in me.  I will be grateful all my life, and you will be recipients of what He has done.  I can't praise Him enough.  The old is gone, the new is here.  I can actually see it.  I love the new me!
     The word says if a husband doesn't love himself, he can't love his wife.  That goes for the rest of us too.  What a gift, what a blessing!  I am still a work in progress, and am anxious to see all the new changes in me.  It's real.  It's exciting and the best is still to come!  A new day dawning!
     What an amazing Savior!  Amazing love, amazing grace!  I see a little face looking through the window of a candy store, but not having the money to come in.  Come in, child, the door is open  an d it's all free!
     IT'S CALLED GRACE!  For God so loved the world....  Philippians 3.

In His Love, a work in progress
