Aging

[Guest LCPGUY]

Well, my spirit remains young, but this body is showing signs of wear and tear. The Lord says we must come to Him as "little children". I want to keep that attitude regardless of this body's condition.

I won't depart this frail tent one second sooner than the Lord calls me home. I surprised a doctor the other day who was telling me that he had a computer program that could project my age at death based upon my health. I just sort of laughed and told him that I already knew when I was going to leave this mortal soil - and of course, that is when the Lord says "come up here." He didn't have a comeback after that.

Blessings,

I am 36, Grey streaks of hair at the sides and a bit at the front, my back aches, my shoulders ache, my knees ache, my head hurts, my feet hurt, my hands hurt, My eyes hurt, my ears ring,

I cant go on 2 hrs of sleep anymore... .

What do ya Think...Gracefull or what? :t:

I still have my sense of humor, I'm tall, in quite good shape for my OLD age..lol, I'm told that I'm still very attractive (looks about 23 to 26),except for the grey hair.

I still Have Faith in the Lord God Almighty, He is everything. PTL

What do ya think...Gracefull or what?

Dear All Grandpa is sixty-five, and I am sixty-four. My husband has had three major surgerys in the last four years, but thank you Jesus, he has come through them, great. The first one, four years ago was for an aneurysm. This one is really a praise report! The doctor that was going to do the surgery, we didn't want. The doctor that we then went to, for the surgery was not real happy about doing it, because of the fact we changed doctors. Where the aneurysm was, the doctor had to remove the intestines and stomach. After the surgery, the doctor came out and said that the surgery had gone remarkably well, but he would not be out of the woods, for a couple of days. We told him that a lot of prayers had gone up for him, and he told us, that he and his wife had also prayed. The next day at noon, they were wheeling him out of ICU to a regular room. When my husband and I went back for a check up, I told the doctor that he was supposed to do the surgery, the doctor said, "I know I was" The doctor has now gone with his family to Africa, to do the Lords work. I also have several physical problems. A plus on my side, besides Jesus, is I never grew up! lol Which is also good, as the last six years, we have been raising three of our grandchildren, all boys. Our prayer is, that Jesus well enable us, to be here, to raise our three grandchildren. Thank your Jesus. I also want the people on the boards here, and the moderators, to know what a blessing you are, to me! Thank You One And All, God Bless, Faith

Hi Faith,

Sounds to me you guys are still busy raising children?

You must find that harder then when you had your own children, but then I find you do things a little different then when you start raising your own family.

We have 2 fosterchildren beside our own children, they have grown up, we have only one left home from 17 years.

I find now with the foster children I focus more on the big things and don't make a fuss about little nothings anumore, its not worth it. And it keeps the peace in the house.

Nice to get to know you and "Yes" God is good !

Dear angels4u Thank you very much for your reply to me. And you are right, it's the inside that counts, what's in the heart. I used to wonder what I would look like, with frosted hair, I don't wonder any more! God Bless, Faith

[ginakay]

Faith, enjoyed your short testimony. God is faithful through it all isn't he?!

[Faith]

Dear ginakay Yes God is faithful and wonderful. With all that is going on today, all over the world, I am so glad, that I am a child of the Living God. Take care and God Bless, Faith

I don't even think about aging, I just go each day and take them one at a time. I am 41,but my wife and relatives and people I work with tell me that I look about 30,and of course it makes me feel good. I don't even feel 41,but then again,I don't know what a 41 year old is supposed to feel like. I admit, I act a lot like a teenager sometimes. My hair hasn't started to turn grey yet ,and my wife says that she thinks it will look nice,but I might color it,and not tell her.
