Fifty Years Ago

Fifty years ago today, I said "I do" and accepted  the last name of my very best friend.   I wish he was still around to celebrate with me but his place of abode is far better than mine.  I love to try to think about what is going on in heaven.  I know my finite mind can not even begin to imagine the things that are there but I love to try.

I look around and see young people just starting their lives together and I remember it so well---the excitement, the wonder of trusting one human with all of you, the many talks, walks, and shared memories.
It goes so fast!!  One day you are young and vibrant and the next day you don't recognize who you are in the mirror.

At this age, you suddenly become invisible.  I can not tell you how many times I have been in conversation with someone only to have them totally ignore me and turn to someone else.  I never remember that happening when I was younger.

It is great to know that God never ignores you.  He asks for you to converse with Him.  We know that and yet we don't even try!!!  God, the God Who created this universe will listen to us!!  Isn't that amazing when you think about it.

I am thankful that I have had fifty years of being called Mrs. Cozart!  I am thankful for my three children and their spouses and their four children.  God is so good and has blessed me tremendously.  Someday, Mike will know his grandchildren too!!!!
