Well, ain’t that the truth?

‘The ole’ gray mare, she ain’t what she used to be.’ (Folk song/Author uncertain)

She ain’t; we ain’t.  Aging takes away what used to be and leaves wanna’ be in its place.  I climbed up the hill but there ain’t no way I can climb back down.

That ole’ gray mare once took hills in her stride. That was long ago…

She’s old but she’s still kickin.’ Good for her.

Kick up your heals and give God the glory!

“Now Peter and John were going up to the temple at the ninth hour, the hour of prayer. And a man who had been unable to walk from birth was being carried, whom they used to set down every day at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, in order for him to beg for charitable gifts from those entering the temple grounds. When he saw Peter and John about to go into the temple grounds, he began asking to receive a charitable gift. But Peter, along with John, looked at him intently and said, ‘Look at us!’ And he gave them his attention, expecting to receive something from them. But Peter said, ‘I do not have silver and gold, but what I do have I give to you: In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, walk!’ And grasping him by the right hand, he raised him up; and immediately his feet and his ankles were strengthened. And leaping up, he stood and began to walk; and he entered the temple with them, walking and leaping and praising God (Acts 3:1-8 NASB).”
