Over 50 Edgar relatives gathered
for their annual Victoria Day
weekend celebration at the home
farm on Browntown Road where
Don Edgar lives. Special guests
were Mait and Mary Edgar of
Petrolia. Everyone enjoyed
fireworks on Sunday night. Some
camped for the night at the farm and
then everyone gathered on Monday
for a delicious potluck lunch. Some
went golfing on Monday morning
and others went fishing at the river
and at the pond at Niel Edgar’s.
Those attending were from Aylmer,
Atwood, Belgrave, Blyth, Brigden,
Elmvale, Cambridge, Clinton,
Goderich, London and Wingham.
As we grow older
(J.R. Miller, “The Glory of the Commonplace”)
“Even to your old age and grey hair I am He; I am He who will sustain you. I have
made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you!” Isaiah 46:4
As we grow older, there should be a constant gaining, never a losing in our spiritual
life. Every year should find us living on a higher plane than the year before. Old
age should always be the best of life, not marked by spiritual emptiness and decay-
-but by nobler fruitfulness and more gracious beauty. Paul was growing old, when
he spoke of forgetting things which are behind, and reaching forth to things ahead.
His best was yet to be attained. So it should always be with Christian old age. We
must ever be turning heavenward, toward nobler life and holier beauty!
“The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, they will grow like a cedar of
Lebanon; planted in the house of the LORD, they will flourish in the courts of our
God. They will still bear fruit in old age, they will stay fresh and green!” Psalm
92:12-14
