Summary

Getting older gets a bad rap. We worry about extra wounds, graying hair, wrinkles, and sagging skin. But I am turning 49 today, and so I decided now would be a good time to reflect on some of the very real blessings of growing older. Snippet From the Show "I have grown to know who I am and accept the way God made me. I know my strengths, my weaknesses, and what God has called me to with greater clarity than when I was younger."

1:24.9	relationship with my age. I'm not sure what the reason is for that, but I fully
1:29.6	embraced my 30s, my 40s, and now I'm looking and saying, oh my gosh, 50s are right there. And yeah,
