GETTING OLD

My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. (Psalm 73:26)

My brother, was talking to an older gentleman when he remarked, ‘I'm feeling old.’ My 41-year-old brother, replied, ‘Yah, I know what you mean.’ The man in his 60's rebutted, ‘No you don't. You're still young.’ To which my brother replied again, ‘And how many combat equipment parachute jumps do YOU have?’ You know, my brother has a point. For a lot of us it's not age, it's mileage. Yes this tent will fade but our hope is in Christ who will be able to rescue us from our decay. Everyday is just one step closer to glory.
