The Best is Yet to Be~!

I just returned from a morning run and somehow wanted to capture the beauty, the peace, the inspiration His great outdoors can bring.  Such a gorgeous fall day~!

Words from a poem I couldn't quite recall kept playing through my mind as I prepared for this week....this season....this Monday morning:

"....The best is yet to be..."

I did a quick search and was delighted to discover, and recall, this phrase is from a poem by Robert Browning, one of my favorite poets, call "Rabbi Ben Ezra."  A faith-filled declaration of God's design for the life of man which inspires a new perspective on youth and aging.  Here are a few lines from the first stanza~

Grow old along with me!

The best is yet to be,

The last of life, for which the first was made:

Our times are in His hand...

If you need a dose of good literature and an ode to aging gracefully this Monday morning, you can read the entire piece HERE.

May your morning be a reflection of His plan for you today ~
