Grow old with you

Just the other day & night I catched up with two old time friends...both of them (whom are siblings) had a chat with me on the same topic...J is going through a new phase of life and many times adjustments have to be made (happens to all of us ain't it?) D said I've matured through the experiences God has placed in my life. Though painful, He has made me stronger and an overcomer with His strength. Have I really matured? Physically I do think so when someone guessed that I'm aged 30 that day :)

They told me to trust God...but many times the trust is not just towards God Himself (if it is then it'l be way easier...as He keeps His word and makes no mistake) but the trust, firstly in God, next in myself that I have been convicted, heard from Him and decide wisely, and lastly in man that God has placed before me. With all these faith that I needed and more wisdom to ask & seek...hadn't I not mature through this?

December is indeed a month of weddings! Currently addicted to Untitled-02 (stay tuned!) but am suddenly reminded of the song Grow old with you. I have always liked the way Adam Sandlers sing it though I cant help laughing at his hair in The Wedding Singer. Desmond (together with the D brothers) sang this to Dorothy during their wedding...I think it's just very sweet of my big brother :) The simple words phrased exactly how the lives of two joining together is like...simply just be there doing the smallest caring act for one another, and growing old together, in His love.
[As I typed this I'm smiling :) reminded of the 'theology & grammar class' I had last night...]

I pray that His love that join hearts together will walk with my dear friends who're married & en-route to getting married. Oh I love weddings!~


Grow old with you
I wanna make you smile whenever you're sad
Carry you around when your arthritis is bad
All I wanna do is grow old with you

I'll get your medicine when your tummy aches
Build you a fire if the furnace breaks
Oh it could be so nice, growing old with you

I'll miss you
Kiss you
Give you my coat when you are cold

Need you
Feed you
Even let you hold the remote control

So let me do the dishes in our kitchen sink
Put you to bed when you've had too much to drink
Oh I could be the man who grows old with you

I wanna grow old with you
