THE SENIOR TIMES
A Publication of The Senior Network
November 2022
Golden Nuggets:
We wanted to take time in this newsletter to thank each of our readers and contributors. It has been one year since we produced the first monthly newsletter, The Senior Times.
Most of us can think of how to say the word(s) “thank you” or “thanks” in more than one language. “Gracias” in Spanish, “Merci” in French, “Danke” in German and “Grazie” in Italian are just a few examples. However, the words ‘thank you’ should be more than mere words; they need to express an attitude of praise and gratitude. Our “thanksgiving” should be all encompassing for all things that come into our lives. Each day is filled with trials along with blessings. If we are to understand the grace which has been given to us we must embrace our tough times with the same attitude of thankfulness as we do all the gracious bounty that is ours as well. In I Thessalonians 5:18 it states “In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.”
Take time this “Thanksgiving Month” to count all of the ways you are truly grateful for every event in your life. As you give thanks, you will realize how much God has blessed you!
Humor Me:
Rupert and Elaine, a young couple, got married and went happily on their honeymoon. When they got back, Elaine immediately phoned her mother and her mother asked, “How was the honeymoon, Dearest?” “Oh, Ma,” she replied, “the honeymoon was wonderful. So romantic...” Then Elaine burst out crying. “But, Ma, as soon as we returned home, Rupert started using the ghastliest language... saying things I've never heard before! I mean, all these awful 4-letter words! You've got to come get me and take me home.... Please Ma.” “Calm down, Elaine!” said her mother, 'Tell me, what could be so awful? What 4-letter words?” Still sobbing, Elaine whispered, “Oh, Ma...words like dust, wash, cook, and iron.”
