I feel a certain responsibility to try to live them well for that reason, although we all have that responsibility anyway! I recognize that God's plan and way for each of us--her and me--is different, and He has had His hand in and worked through both. <BR/><BR/>So far, I have had 15 "bonus years" and have tried to live them well, though there are always bumps in the road. (Or shall I say rocks on the steps?) And yes, Jesus is always there when I get around to looking up to see Him, sometimes later rather than sooner.<BR/><BR/>I hope to have many more years/steps, along with chances to recall, review, and be grateful for them!<BR/><BR/>SharonLloyd & Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12039624793625350478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7273706721735028462.post-74534153614449205562009-01-06T11:31:00.000-08:002009-01-06T11:31:00.000-08:00Hmm.
