ALL of us, age. We should not, I believe, cling to youth.

It’s hard not to when your health starts to deteriorate though.

You absolutely want it back.

Yeah but as they say, ‘Everyone wants to go to heaven, but nobody wants to go now.’

As someone of advanced age I know I have fewer day left than I’ve lived, but that doesn’t mean I don’t want to stay around as long as possible. There will come a time when I’ll know it’s time, but don’t rush it. And don’t be insensitive to those trying to hold on. Maybe they have grandchildren they want to enjoy, unfinished business to accomplishment or just an old dog they want to stick around a little while longer to care for.

Everybody dies, but God decide when he wants to call you home. Offering prayers for an elderly person is a nice way of asking for God’s will to be done.
