Ecclesiastes 5:20(NASB)  "For he will not often consider the years of his life, because God keeps him occupied with the gladness of his heart."I am not sure where or when I first heard it but I use it often! "Age is a state of mind", was told to me many years ago and I have come to believe it is so! Today's verse shares about a man not often considering the years of his life because God fills our hearts with gladness. I am sure each of us count the years of our life by celebrating our birthday but the reality is that we are only as old as we feel. Sure I wake up with new aches and pains, sometimes brought on by trying to do the things I could when I was younger, but if I concentrate on the gladness in my heart, by the blessings of God, the pain doesn't seem so bad. Let us walk by the gladness in our hearts by His blessings rather than focus on the pain of growing old! Remember just because there's snow on the roof doesn't mean there isn't warmth inside! peace, tom
