Living a righteous life gets rewarded with longevity, which comes with gray locks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Today\u2019s verse makes me think of my mom, who didn\u2019t have time to color her hair, raising three kids, and taking care of a disabled husband\u2014a righteous woman who enjoyed a long life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now, I\u2019m \u201cgoing gray.\u201d Letting my natural hair color shine also helps me transition into the later part of life, letting go of the mistakes of my youth, forgiving myself of my transgressions, and trusting God more than ever. Realizing I have fewer years ahead of me than behind helps me appreciate each moment more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Life moves quickly as you begin to talk about decades instead of years. Gray hair signifies the victories and defeats that come with a long life, each day a gift from above. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Wear the crown of glory, gray hair, signifying a long walk with God and anticipation of what will come someday.<\/p>\n\n\n Lord, thank You for a long life lived with You. Forgive us for trying to hide the crown of glory. As we transition into the second part of life, help us accept what comes with aging. Let us see ourselves as You see us. IJNIP.
