Golfing Seniors

A foursome of senior golfers hit the course with waning enthusiasm for the sport.

"These hills are getting steeper as the years go by," one complained.

"These fairways seem to be getting longer too," said one of the others.

"The sand traps seem to be bigger than I remember them too," said the third senior.

After hearing enough from his buddies, the oldest and the wisest of the four of them at 87 years old, piped up and said, "My friends, just be thankful we're still on this side of the grass!"

 

 

IT IS MY HOPE AS WE ENTER THIS ADVVENT SEASON THAT IT WILL REMIND YOU OF THE HOPE THAT GOD HAS GIVEN TO US….

 

GOD BLESS YOU
