Happy birthday Elsie
Some of us went to a birthday party this weekend - a 95th birthday party. But when one of us asked Elsie Stewart to divulge the secret of living to such a grand old age, she shook her head and said, "God doesn't want to take me home yet. There must still be something he wants me to do."
Elsie's reply made me think two things. While I'm often guilty of worrying about "my" life, "my" career, "my" family etc, the reality is that these are not "my" things to worry about. It's all about God, not me. And that's a relief.
And secondly, there's no such thing as a scrap heap in the kingdom. God has work for us to do, whether we're 5 or 95. And when he doesn't, he'll just bring us home.
