I WANNA GROW OLD!

07 Aug

I was told that you are “as old as your thoughts, and as young as your despair.”                                            

I want to live long enough to get old and at some point to have been useful.

PSALMS 116: 26 says; “Precious in the Sight of the Lord is the Death of His Saints.”   I am not the one trying to give the Lord grief. It’s simply this, I don’t want to be remembered as an old fool. I want to be remembered as a woman of character.

There was a time that if someone asked me what my plans were for old age, (since retirement was out of the question) I might have said, “I guess I will just die.” And yes I actually said this to my Godmother and she had a fit! She had me go to the Concordance and look up every word if I had to, and come back with the correct answer. After the third try to long distance Bible classes from my 91-year-old T.T,’  I found John 11:26;

“Jesus said,”AND WHOSOEVER LIVE AND BELIEVE IN ME SHALL NEVER DIE. BELIEVE THOU THIS’?

So I am going to do the best I can for as long as I can. I am going to praise God for allowing me to get up in years. And I mean in more ways than one. I am going to remember the things I use to do and strive to do the things I can do better. When someone calls me old, I am going to pray that they get there too. Did I mention, the only way to get old is to live?

Finally, I will pray not to become a Vindictive, Mad at the World old woman.

    I have been browsing online more than three hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours.

    It is pretty worth enough for me. Personally,
    if all web owners and bloggers made good content as you did,
    the internet will be much more useful than ever before.
