Great day everybody! It’s a great day because Jesus is alive! I don’t know what I would do without Him.

Tidbit 2 I Don’t Know What I Would Do Without The Lord
In times like these we need someone that we can depend on. We need someone who will always be there. We need someone who we can call on anytime and anywhere. When I look around and see what this world is coming to, I don’t know what I would do without the Lord. When I look in the mirror and see what the aging process is doing to me, I just don’t know what I would do without the Lord. Click on the video below to hear my (50 PLUS) rendition of I Don’t Know What I Would Do without the Lord.(4:11 min.)
Tidbit 3 Welcome to the club!
If you’re 50, 60, 70, 80 and over, you are automatically a member of the Celebrated 50 PLUS. Age brings intelligence, experience, wisdom and beauty. So why are many people scared of it? I blame society. Society has played a big role in our perceptions of aging. As a result some people struggle with the fact that they are growing older. Is it possible that we fear and deny aging, because we fear and deny death? As a result, are we rejecting the wisdom of the aged? Are we robbing old age of its meaning and the youth of its direction?
Adults 50 and over can feel that they are invisible and neglected by society. JESUS loves you! You are not invisible to Him. He will never neglect you. He can still use you if you’re on top of the hill (50) or over the hill (PLUS).
Really though, age is just a number… a number that gets you extra discounts and savings (woohoo)! Turning 50 and going beyond 50 is not a time to look down, but a time to look up. Exciting things can still happen. We’ve got places to go, people to see, goals to fulfill, books to write, songs to sing, people to inspire, people to mentor. The list goes on and on.
- Harland Sanders, didn’t become “The Colonel” of Kentucky Fried Chicken until he was 65.
- Laura Ingalls Wilder didn’t publish her first novel until she was 65 years old. She’s known for the book –Little House on the Prairie. She went on to write 12 more books.
- Grandma Moses (Anna Mary Robertson Moses) was 76 when she began her career as a painter.
Research shows that people 50 years and older who had a more positive self-perception of aging lived 7.5 years longer than people with negative self-perceptions about aging. Research also suggests that those who are grateful report less pain and take better care of themselves, which can increase longevity.
Affirmations for the Celebrated 50 plus: - Whatever my age, my personal relationship with Jesus Christ will empower me to discover and share the hidden wealth that lies within me.
- Today I make the choice to enjoy life fully, with no regrets (no shoulda, coulda, or woulda from me).
- It is what it is. I can’t reverse all of the effects of aging. I WILL strengthen those things that remain because I have work to do for God. Read Revelation 3:2.
- Laughing, living in the moment, and adopting a positive attitude will help me stay young at heart.
Perks Of Being on & over the Hill - Kidnappers are not very interested in you.
- In a hostage situation you are the most likely to be released first.
- No one expects you to run — anywhere.
- You can quit trying to hold in your stomach no matter who walks into the room.
It’s good to keep a sense of humor as we age, otherwise we could become bitter. The last thing I want to become is a bitter older woman. The aging process and all that goes with it is a reality, a natural part of the life cycle. It’s going to happen, whether we like it or not. The only alternative is – instead of being on top of the hill or over the hill – to be under the hill. So, why not just celebrate?
If you know Jesus Christ as your Savior, now is the time to get to know Him even better. If you don’t know Him, accepting Him as your Savior will be the wisest decision you will ever make.
