“Do not regret growing older. It is a privilege denied to many.” Unknown

To see something as a privilege is often a matter of being given another perspective. Service is regarded by some to be a burden, but for others it is the joy of life. The eyes of the soul determine how we view life. A heart of gratitude helps us appreciate the rose, not complain about the thorn. For now, Father has decided thorns are necessary. As His children, learning to appreciate this is a privilege. ~”For you have been given the privilege of serving Christ, not only by believing in him, but also by suffering for him.” Phil.1 Conversations Within” ts 11/19/2015
