Gail and I have been in Arizona this winter enjoying the warm sunshine where he is roping and we are enjoying each other and some 'down time'. It is such a blessing to be able to do this. It is a dream we've always had and didn't think would come to pass. We have 'waited upon the Lord' for this to happen and everything has fallen in place. We have very generous friends who lavish their hospitality on us, feed us, and let us stay at their Arizona acerage. We have a great family that takes care of things at home in a very wonderful responsible manner. We are very grateful to them!!
There are a wide variety of ages here in Arizona. The other day we were out to lunch after going to church. A group of young men came into the cafe that Gail knew from roping. They were just getting up and coming in to breakfast after being out late on a Saturday night.
Thinking about their lifestyle, it made me ever so grateful for our son-in-laws that were back home working at their jobs, caring for their families, and serving in their churches.
A few years ago some of our grown children took a Bible study about marriage. One thing they learned in the study was that there are things their parents or older people are able to do such as have nicer homes with newer furniture, to go on trips, to drive newer cars that they were not able to do YET. The study told them not to try to do these things yet. They needed to hunker down and pay attention to the NOW so that they could do them LATER.
So..... don't get ahead of yourself. Pay your dues now so you may reap later!!
Pv. 14:23 In all toil there is profit, but mere talk tends only to poverty.
Pv. 21:5 The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance, but everyone who is hasty comes only to poverty.
