Growing old is the most dreaded phase in one's life. It is a product of time and it affects our whole being. Billions of dollars were spent and still to be spent to stop aging and if it cannot be stopped....just to prolong the time of its coming. Yes, aging is regarded as a great catastrophe that everyone wishes to avoid.
But since aging is inevitable, sanity dictates to us to accept its coming but do something to enable us to cope with the process.
Symptoms of growing old vary from one person to another. Graying, thinning and falling hair, tooth loss, wrinkles, and sagging breast are just some of the most popular and evident signs in the long list of changes that take place as we age.
Billeting ourselves and saying "I'm old, I'm nothing" must not be our acceptance speech. Instead, let us welcome aging with joy and peace in knowing that God is so good to us by giving us long life that many were not blest.
Yes, growing old covers our whole being: body, mind, heart and spirit. We undergo changes and go through the turmoil of either peaceful or bitter acceptance. The choice is ours.
In our choice, part of it is our fears and anxiety, but if we hold on to God's promises embodied in the Holy Scriptures, we can rely with utmost confidence that God will enable us to pass through towards that twilight years of our lives and beyond the sunset, we can enjoy eternal peace and joy.
HAPPY TRIP!!!
