Old Folks Are Worth a Fortune!

Old folks are worth a fortune! With silver in their hair, gold in their teeth, stones in their kidneys, lead in their feet and gas in their stomachs.

I have become a lot more social with the passing of the years; some might even call me a frivolous old gal. I'm seeing five men everyday. As soon as I wake, Will Power helps me get out of bed. Then I go to see John. Then Charley Horse comes along,and when he is here he takes a lot of my time and attention. When he leaves, Arthur Ritis shows up and stays the rest of the day. He doesn't like to stay in one place very long, so he takes me from joint to joint. After such a busy day, I'm really tired and glad to go to bed with Ben Gay. What a life!

The preacher came the other day. He said that at my age, I should be thinking about the here after. I told him I do - all the time. No matter where I am - in the parlor, upstairs in the kitchen, downstairs in the basement - I ask myself, "Now what am I here after?"

Are You One In A Million?


Living Legacies Inc is set to launch one of the most exciting fundraising campaigns ever - The "One in a Million Campaign". If you wish to be "One in a Million" and have your name listed as a contributor to Living Legacies Inc then continue to follow Living Legacies Inc to see how you can be involved.
The aging community will increase from 12 million to 86 million over the age of 65 in the next 50 years. When most people are planting churches to reach the next generation Living Legacies Inc is seeking to honor the legacies of the aging community. These individuals should be honored and not forgotten and Living Legacies Inc is established to make sure this will happen - and you will soon be able to be involved.
Pastors - this is a worthy cause for your church and it would be a great benefit to the Kingdom of God and the Glory of God if you would agree to be the arm of Christ in helping to extend a helping hand to the elderly through Living Legacies Inc. The first ministry of the church in the 1st century was the elders making the church aware that the widows were being neglected (Acts 6). I am repeating the call in the 21st century - the widows are being neglected. I hope the response will be that of the 1st century - a ministry has already been established to meet the need now we just need your financial support and prayers.
I am praying for one million people to simply be willing to place $1 each month in an envelope and send it too: Living Legacies Inc, 213 Sawgrass Drive, Savannah, GA. 31405. Upon receiving this gift you will be added to the list of "One in a Million" who contribute to Living Legacies Inc on a monthly basis. Please pray and follow the progress of Living Legacies Inc "One in a Million Campaign".

Immanuel by Charles Spurgeon


When once I mourned a load of sin;
When conscience felt a wound within;
When all my works were thrown away;
When on my knees I knelt to pray,
Then, blissful hour, remembered well,
I learned Thy love, Immanuel.


When storms of sorrow toss my soul;
When waves of care around me roll;
When comforts sink, when joys shall flee;
When hopeless griefs shall gape for me,
One word the tempest's rage shall quell
--
That word, Thy name, Immanuel.

When for the truth I suffer shame;
When foes pour scandal on my name;
When cruel taunts and jeers abound;
When "Bulls of Bashan" gird me round,
Secure within Thy tower I'll dwell--
That tower, Thy grace, Immanuel.


When hell enraged lifts up her roar;
When Satan stops my path before;
When fiends rejoice and wait my end;
When legioned hosts their arrows send,
Fear not, my soul, but hurl at hell
Thy battle-cry, Immanuel.


When down the hill of life I go;
When o'er my feet death's waters flow;
When in the deep'ning flood I sink;
When friends stand weeping on the brink,
I'll mingle with my last farewell
Thy lovely name, Immanuel.


When tears are banished from mine eye;
When fairer worlds than these are nigh;
When heaven shall fill my ravished sight;
When I shall bathe in sweet delight,
One joy all joys shall far excel,
To see Thy face, Immanuel.
