I want to supply many pointers on how to remain young. Spend a little time with folk who talk about events and concepts instead of sitting around a store talking about folk and how sorry this young generation has become. No-one wants to be around a crotchety old person who sees only the clouds and talks only about stormy weather.
I like being around older folk who still see the sunny aspect of life.
And while I am at it, give up addressing each ache and discomfort. Give up talking about how feeble you are getting and how others will need to do this or that for you. There are folk all around you who could use an inspiring word, an affirming note, a telephone call that asserts, “I love you and believe in you, and I’m praying for you.” So go there. The 5th is clear : Your God isn’t dead, keep serving and looking for Him. The Lord Jesus Christ is never-ending and ever important. Continue to enjoy a little time alone with your Lord. You have lived long enough to know that there’s no another true than the Lord Himself. Continue cultivating a significant relationship with Him.
I only wish for you a full life, like Job’s, marked not by living happily for ever ( an impossibility ), but by being really satisfied, satisfied, challenged, helpful, godly, balanced, and joyous.
