Aged
I noticed a restaurant sign that advertised "aged" beef, as if it is a good thing for beef to be aged. What if they called it "old" beef? Would it be as attractive to eat for carnivores? I don't think so. So why is it that we call people who have been around for a while, matured to wisdom figures, "old." Why not call them "aged?" I like to think of myself as aged. I am seasoned by life. My presence feeds the spirits of those around me. Think positive, you old, I mean, aged persons! We ain't done yet!

Hard to think of myself as a mature wisdom figure and not old when I got on the wrong bus in Denver today. Thought I was headed for Boulder so closed my eyes and started my afternoon prayer time. When I opened them again I was the only passenger on a bus returning to Denver from its Broomfield destination! Driver thought he had an empty bus
ReplyDeleteBut you had a good prayer time. Grace is everywhere, even in our missteps.
ReplyDeleteI find that more and more true!
