Heads of grey congregate
Once a week around tea and cake
At the start of bible study ~ a
Refresher course, training/grooming for their crossing
Into the future, I always think.
70’s, 80’s, 90’s and one turned a hundred last week.
Only a few, one or two, in their 60’s,
Not close enough yet
To feel regret as the years steadily pass ~
The calm before the storm ~
Where their elders can fit a year in a day
Or so it seems as time ebbs away.

Then again, it might arrive before tomorrow, stealing in like a thief in the night.

The expanse of time is so much bigger than us. That is what life on earth is for, preparing the bride for the groom (Christ)

My mom really enjoys her Bible study group, even though she says that her memory is now so bad, that she can’t take anything in.

It’s very much a social thing for most of the people, AD.

Each day is a gift
so use them with thrift
for there’s no guarantee of tomorrow.
But when they are gone
and it’s time to move on
then do so, without any sorrow..
Thanks for this inspiration Denise..
