Daily Butter: Youth

My little addition to Our Daily Bread (6/20/2014):
Who satisfies your mouth with good things,
So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
(Psalm 103:5)
My wife and I were talking about our aches and pains once our son was in bed and laughing a little together at how people react. I had a coworker ask if they could guess my age and ended up having to produce my driver's license to show her guess was over a decade off. My wife confirmed that she has seen some confused looks when she mentions something about her fortieth birthday. Yes, there are many parents of children the same age as our son that are more than a decade younger than us. While my son seems to "keep us young" and "turn us gray" at the same time, it's not the doing of my son, David. David, the Psalmist, included this verse in the list of reminders for us to give credit where credit is due: "Bless the Lord, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits:" (v2).

Praise be to the Lord for giving us the energy needed for the tasks which He has entrusted to us.
