Is That Your Final Answer?
Ecclesiastes 12

Aging
a sobering process. Aging brings difficult days:
Remember also your Creator in the days of your youth, before the evil days come and the years draw near of which you will say, “I have no pleasure in them” Ecclesiastes 12:1
It comes with fear. Loneliness. Uselessness. Our Western Culture views aging negatively, but Eastern Culture does not. Actually older people bring more knowledge and skill to the table.
Michaegelo was 89 when he painted the Last Judgement.
If you walk with the Lord, old age can be a blessing.
If you remember your Creator in the days of your youth, your Creator will remember you in the days of your death.
