What never seems to change is the 'alarm' the older generation has when they compare their current society to what they understand scripture to speak about in reference to 'the end times'.
Then again, Paul mentions something about learning to be content...
I'm working on it! 
Today I appear to be succeeding! PRAISE THE LORD!
Blessings to you all ~ in Jesus' name! |
There are so MANY good words like that in Scripture, hey! To be content How wonderful - I just love that you were succeeding, hon!
Of course you're right about the old days seeming to be better and the whole world certainly IS going to pot!! Grass on the other side of the fence being greener and all that sort of thing... Yet the Lord does make me content with my lot. And despite our deteriorating health, keeps me strong in hope. Me failing Him is what's most likely to give me angst really. If only I could be perfect for Him... *realises he needs to wait for heaven...*
