Biblical Bifocals

When the eye doctor prescribed bifocals I chose the no-line version to booster my vanity. I didn’t want everyone to notice the change from single to dual lenses. With short arms they do help me read better. I’ve tried to convince my daughters that publishers are using smaller font in books these days, but they won’t believe me.

I long to grow old with the dignity befitting a child of God. Yet, I cringe each time I go to the beauty shop. The pile of hair on the floor must belong to someone else! I don’t remember that many silver strands the last time I had my hair cut.

Every event . . . every change . . . every season of our lives must be viewed through the lens of God’s Word. Middle age is full of changes. Grandparents are getting older. Children are growing up and leaving home. Hormones are out of control. If we are going to handle all these changes in a godly way we need to put on our biblical bifocals.
