It seems to be an appropriate time to have a Daily-E-Votional devoted to cheering up. Isn\u2019t it amazing that when we were kids we could hardly wait to be older \u2015 and now?\u00a0Well let\u2019s just say that very few of us seniors are saying we are 75 and a half, or whatever!<\/p>\n<p>Today\u2019s Scripture was one I memorized when I was just a boy in Camas, Washington.
