This week I saw a post by a Christian woman about aging. She showed pictures of herself in each decade, and with each photo, she shared what age was “doing to her” at that time in her life. There was nothing positive – no hope concerning God’s plan or His care. It was what she called, “just being real.” It was a rant about how awful it is to get older. It left me discouraged and feeling more depressed than any new wrinkles in my laugh lines ever could!
It has also made me think about what the blessings of aging could be, and also of what our biblical response must be. Is this just a cruel joke at end our life – that of getting old? Has God forsaken us who are over 60? No!!!
