I do not think I am too young, but there are those who would look at me and say: "You are too old!" I am not too old by God's standard. He called Abraham when he was in his 70s, I am not quite there yet. Abraham went from his safe, comfortable home to live a life as a tent dweller. Fortunately I will not have to live in a tent.
Today I spent time with my local family celebrating a nephew's birthday. All the local crowd was together, except for the young men who were at work.
I made a point of talking to my nephew's wife's family and inviting them over to my garden. They could not believe I was willing to leave my garden and go overseas. To them it was a sacrilege. I said I find it hard, but am willing.
Imagine finishing my life here when God has told me to go, just because of a garden? How could I face the Lord?
His plans are better than mine, way better! Amen!
