From A Place For The God-Hungry:

I would much rather become like the couple I visited with on Monday. In their 70s, they are dealing with some very serious health issues. Yet, in the middle of a very difficult time, they speak of how they are blessed by God. They smile at one another and at others. They speak of the goodness and mercy of God. Their love is deep and rich.

I deeply want this too. I know I'm not there yet... but I will be, since God rewards those who eagerly seek Him!
