The young and the old.

Isaiah 65:17-25

This reading always gives me a jolt. I remember the toothless grin, the joy at being swing by his big brother, the pain of nursing with sore nipples. I remember Matthew and his short life. I also remember the care of our church family and know the joy of the two subsequent children, now adults and know that God has been with me and trust that he will continue to be with for the rest of my days- hopefully until for many years to come.
