Bicycle

Our Jumble Shed must have some bicycles for sale. I observed an elderly gentleman trying one out in the car parking area. He must have been in his 70’s.

I was reminded of my Grandad, who rode his bicycle, all over Melbourne, delivering and fitting the articles he had for sale. He was a very fit man, although quite an eccentric person. I recall that he did not slow down, until he fell out of the peach tree while doing some pruning. He was 87 at the time, and then required a support to get on and of his bicycle.

Psalm 92:12-15 (Message)
"Good people will prosper like palm trees,
Grow tall like Lebanon cedars;
transplanted to God's courtyard,
They'll grow tall in the presence of God,
lithe and green, virile still in old age."
Such witnesses to upright God!
My Mountain, my huge, holy Mountain!
