I CHOOSE THIS!

I have decided that as I get older, there are some things that I need to do that I can carry with me for later on in my life. When I get out of the bed in the morning, I can either grumble and complain about how much I ache and hurt all over, or I can thank God for the day that He has given me.
I choose the latter!
Whether I am gonna like the day or not doesn't depend on me(thank goodness!).
It's a decision I make ahead of time, and one that I automatically make and I can either settle in and be glum, or accept life with its ups and downs and go on!
I choose the latter!
I accept and thank God that I was able to have a successful hip replacement back in 2003, and a shoulder replacement that past June of 2010. I could still be grumbling over what pain I really didn't have, or thank God for giving me the doctor He gave me
and the therapists He gave me....
I choose the latter!
All in all, I think God wants us to make those conscious decisions as we get older, but He wants us to base them on His Word and what it tells us to do! That's not always easy, but it's always God! He stays the same, day and night; when we're young or when we're old, so as I get older and my steps get slower and my mind really slows down, I will fall back on the Lord more and more, because even though Becky will change, my God won't! Even though my bank account will dwindle away, the account thatI have laid up for myself in Heaven will never ever dwindle away!
Why, it will just keep growing, and growing and maybe one day I'll have a crown for a mighty special King!
I choose this!
