1 Samuel 25:6 Say to him: ‘Long life to you! Good health to you and your household! And good health to all that is yours!
This was a greeting David sent to Nabal as he asked for provisions for his men. It’s a good blessing – something we hope for ourselves and our loved ones. Today I stood at the bedside of Frances Thompson with members of her family. Frances is 104 years young. Up until April she has enjoyed good health. At the moment she is suffering from fluid in her lungs. At any age it is difficult to let our loved ones go. There is one thing for certain, barring the second coming in our lifetime; we are all going to die. I read recently that we should live our life today in the manner that we would like someone to speak about us at our funeral. We have a finite amount of time here on earth. When we pass over to our new heavenly life, may people talk about the good that we were able to do during our life. Send some prayers up for Frances; she is a great sister in Christ.
Dear God, We praise you for the long life you have bestowed upon Frances and many other precious seniors. May all their moments be inhabited by your love. We pray for good health and longevity for ourselves and those we love. Amen.
