I turned 65 this year, and I have to say that sounds old to me. I know many older people, but my brother passed away at 69, which is very sobering. I am fortunate to be in reasonably good health, but statistics suggest I am most likely in this last quadrant of my life. I have a choice to make every day. I can choose to groan about being old, or I can choose to treat each day as a gift from God. That gift comes with an obligation to live that day for Him. He wants me to love others, love myself and love Him in every moment. I found this short sermon clip from Billy Graham which expresses my thoughts better than I can. Take a few minutes to meditate on it.
Note: Dr. Graham mentions the average life span is 70 for American men, but Google states it is now 76.5 for men and 81.4 for women.
