The man who could thank the food-some worthy old Medicine man or Warrior-said....''Look to the Old, they are worthy of Old Age, they have seen their days and proven themselves. With the help of the ''Great Spirit'', they have attained a ripe Old Age. At this age the Old can predict or give Knowledge or Wisdom,  whateverit is,..it is so. At the end is a cane. You and your Family shall get to where the cane is.''............

''Top O' The Morning to All of You!'' ...

      Lets go grab that ''Cup O' Joe''...Iced Please! ..Take the 'heat off' and plop down in that ''Favorite

O'l Comfy' Chair!''..Today were going to ''Discover'' that 'Age Old Secret'..The Fountain of Youth!''

Since the 'Beginning of Time'... Men of Science and ''Great Faith'' have been trying to find the ''Secret of Youth''

''Why,..its over here in this Country'' someone would say!,..''Nope!..its over in this One!'' another would say!

Well,..''Stop!'' . Look no farther,There is ''No Mystery'' to the ''Fountain of Youth,''There is ''No Magic Drink'' out there to ''Make You Young'' .The Bible has the Answer,But before I share it with You,I'm going to let you

in on a ''Secret'' I heard from a 96 year Old World War Two Veteran!...

Here goes!''Pastor,..Were born bald,...no teeth,...and in diapers!...When We get old,...Before We ''Die''..We revert back to ''Our Youth''......We become ''Babies'' again..No Hair,..No Teeth,..and back to ''Diapers!''

Enough said!...I kinda think He made a point with that one!...You go ''Figgure'' that one out!..

John-4:10...''If you only knew what a wonderful gift God has for you, and who I am, you would ask Me for some ''Living Water''

John-6:27...''You shouldn't be so concerned about perishable things like food. No, spend your energy seeking the eternal life that I, the Messiah, can give you.For God the Father has sent Me for this very purpose.''

We ''Seek'' to keep our youth,..Plastic Surgery,..Vitamins..Exercise..Eat the ''Right Food''...Diet like there's no Tomorrow,...

Yes,..I agree,..Our Body is our ''Temple''...But what about ''Our Mind..our Faith?''..

Looking ''Good',..Feeling ''Good'',..All that is 'Great',..But what about ''Our Spiritual Side!?''...After all,..God did make 'Us',.and We need to keep the ''Temple'' clean and look forward for a long 'Prosperious and Healthy' life  right?

The ''Living Water'' Jesus talks about is ''His Word'' of Life...''Faith and Understanding'' that We cannot live without ''Being in Christ''..or better put..''In His Word.''

We are only ''As Old as We Feel!''....Ever heard that little 'quip'?..

The ''Fountain of Youth,''I truly believe We All can ''Find It'' thru ''Jesus,''I tell You what,It keeps Me ''running'' pretty good! ..Life is a ''Gift''  ..Given to Us by God, and We,.. like All Living things, need to ''Feed and keep it Nourished'',..not only by Food and Water,..but by the ''Water of Life'' in His Word's..

Remember what Jesus also said about ''water''..

John - 4:14...''People soon get thirsty after drinking their water,But,the Water I give them, becomes a perpetual spring within them, watering them Forever with "Eternal Life"

Ok,..ok..I'm done,You have a ''Big Piece of Meat'' to 'chew' on, as You decide on Your Own ''Diet of Faith!''

I guess I'll leave You with these ''Parables'' to also Ponder on and 'Digest'...

''Affliction for God's people can be the pruning knife to prepare Us for greater fruitfulness''

''Christ Believed is Salvation received and Heaven gained.''

''The True Taste of Truth,..is Faith Tested.''

God Bless All of You, as Sherrie and I Pray that the ''Living Waters of Faith and Truth'' quench the 'Thirst'

We All have for Lasting Love and not only a Long Life here,..But an Eternity of Love and Life in the Lord!

Until next week,..May We Always be able to say and believe..It is ''In God We Trust'' and ''God Bless America''
