Our Times are in His Hand. . .

Grow old along with me!

The best is yet to be,

The last of life, for which the first was made:

Our times are in His hand

Who saith "A whole I planned,

Youth shows but half; trust God: see all, nor be afraid!''

              Rabbi Ben Ezra  Robert Browning

A good friend, married for 60 years, is engaged in chemotherapy for cancer.   Her husband

is experiencing cognitive decline, yet remains as sweet and good-natured as ever.   She says

she feels they are closer than they ever have been in their marriage;  she quotes the 

Robert Browning poem.                   ". . .trust God: see all, nor be afraid!"
