Encouragement

“For nothing will be impossible with God.” Luke 1:37 ESV

Encouragement is something that we all need. We never truly know what another person might be going through, and how our encouragement uplifts them. Not only is it important to encourage others, but our own souls as well. Other than God, who knows what you have been through and are going through better than you. The Scripture is filled with passages of encouragement as we journey on this sometimes-tedious journey. My mind goes to:

The Lord is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation. For the Lord your God is he who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you the victory. The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall, I fear? I sought the Lord, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. For you shall go out in joy and be led forth in peace.

As you and I move forward today let us do so with our minds filled with intention:

  • Don’t let the opinion of others control your life.
  • Don’t get caught up in the shame of the past.
  • Stop Procrastination.
  • Choose to do something.
  • Skip the who’s right attitude.
  • Don’t Running from the problem instead of solving it.
  • Make decisions instead of excuses.
  • Don’t Overlooking positive points.
  • Appreciating the present moments.

And remember what the scripture says. “I can do all things through him who strengthens me” and so can you.

Remember friends, we are each other’s keeper and the only time we should be looking down on someone is when we are helping them up.#encour

Never Too Old

“Once I was young, and now I am old. Yet I have never seen the Godly abandoned or their children begging for bread.” Psalm 37:25 NLT

This passage of scripture I have shared today highlights God’s faithfulness and provision for those who follow Him. As I grow older, I have seen first-hand, that I can learn new things, not to mention that my palette of interest has grown too.

Social media is filled with 50 plus people, cooking, dancing, singing, vacationing, giving positive message, funny jokes, and skits. After all you can’t live 50 plus years and not have some amazing experiences to share. Too be honest it is refreshing and encouraging to me to see folks my age doing their thang.

Age should not limit older people from pursuing their passions and achieving goals. C.S. Lewis said it this way, “You are never too old to set another goal or dream a new dream.”

Here are a few extraordinary things some older people have done:

80-year-old fashion model

91-year-old marathon runner

88-year-old active gymnast

90-year-old who earned a PhD

95-year-old who earned a bachelor’s degree, then at 98 years old earned master’s degree, and even moved into a campus dorm.

Ironman athlete and Nun at 86 years old

Climb Mount Everest at 80 years old

90-year-old who won a Nobel Prize

Water Skier at 100 years old

Riding Harley-Davidson motorcycle at 90 years old

Active dancer and yoga practitioner at 92 years old

Oldest Newlyweds at ages 103 and 91 years old

Skydiving at 100 years old

Drive a Formula 1 car at 79 years old

And that’s not all of the list, Isn’t that amazing? It’s a sign that adventures come at any age. It’s all about a mindset my friends. We can do all things through Christ who is our strength. Notice it doesn’t say anything about our age. The Longer I live the more beautiful life becomes. I certainly appreciate the simple things. We are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream. Amen.
