Jesus, be with me today.
In this world,
I will have tribulations
But I can rejoice
Because YOU have overcome
This world.
Let me be mindful of that today.
Let me be mindful of YOU today.
Jesus be with me today.
Let me rest in Your peace.
Let me rest in You.
I will rest in You today.
I will rest...

~ The Golden Years ~
Whoever said that these are our "Golden Years"? They certainly don't feel very golden to most of us.
Old age has brought aches and pains galore. We get knees and hips replaced—shoulder surgery—cataract surgery. Are these golden?
Many of us leak urine. Some of us leak stool. None of this fits in with my idea of "Golden Years".
Who started this expression? Where did it come from?
I turn to Google for answers and discover the phrase was first put forth to advertise Sun City!
What is Sun City? "Sun City is an entire community dedicated to leisure and recreation for the active, retired adult."
How many older adults get to stay active? Most of the folks around here either sit home alone or join us for cards and a hot meal at the Senior Center.
What is the Senior Center? Well, it's the place where we are fighting lonely and wondering where the gold is as we wander into our sunset years...
A golden sunset, perhaps, as we fight loneliness...
Contest: "Invalid Item"
Prompt: "We are fighting lonely."
