“There is a beauty, a quiet splendor, in the journey of maturity when we travel with You… year by year, season by season, growing closer, becoming more and more Your servant and Your friend. Help me, Lord, to live so closely to Your truth, so completely in Your will, that wisdom lines my spirit as time lines my face. Keep my heart forever young, my hope in You unfailing. Let me age in autumn colors, dressed in banners of Your love.”
