NO PLANS OF RETIRING
Today's reading: Psalm 90-92

"But the godly will flourish like palm trees and grow strong like the cedars of Lebanon. For they are transplanted into the Lord's own house. They flourish in the courts of our God. Even in old age they will produce fruit, they will remain vital and green." Psalm 92:12-15 NLT

This week my son and I are attending a Vacation Bible School being held at the church where I grew up. It's neat seeing the familiar faces, the changes made in the church and the altar where I knelt and asked Jesus into my heart.

I'm thrilled to be sitting in on the adult class they're offering each evening. Even more thrilled that Miss Wilma is teaching it.

Miss Wilma was a teacher of mine when I was small. I don't think she'd mind me saying she was what I considered very old then, and now some thirty years later? Well, she's that much older.

She's a 'poster child' for the verse I uncovered in the Word this morning. She's at a ripe old age still producing fruit, still touching lives, still desiring that people come to know her Lord and Savior. She's vital and green, still growing, still serving and still wanting to please her Father.

Miss Wilma was transplanted into the house of the Lord years ago, and I'm pleased to announce, she's thriving in His environment!
