It<br />would be interesting to know where along her journey she wrote this. I imagine that, though<br />such knowledge (of her struggles) can trouble us, Jesus would say something like <i>What’s it <br />to you?

Especially the last thought--what richness and beauty in those words. We can make our autumn years what we want by our attitude.

Autumn is my favourite season so I'm not surprised that I'm loving my 60's. For me, it's the season of gathering the memories and now writing about it. These are 'days of gold' for me. As I look back, I see so clearly His faithfulness and gentle guidance throughout my life. And I'm so grateful. <br /><br />Wishing you a beautiful day, Cheryl.<br />Brenda xoxBrenda @ Its A Beautiful Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02955486477303938670noreply@blogger.com
