ENJOYING OLD AGE

Whoever succeeds in adopting a positive attitude towards old age, 

The passing of years, would not appear an earthly burden on him, 

But, heavenly bliss.

Michael Tor Date: 9/26/2024 9:51:00 PM Demetrios I wish you much blessings on your birthday my friend. I just got back to posting and saw your POTD. Congratulations my favorite Professor. May the Good Lord richly bless you... As we get older sometimes there are physical challenges, but those challenges bring us closer to God. To help us overcome. Without some challenges some people would not know God, but in their desperation for healing they turn to him and start a relationship with Jesus that would have never been started without that illness or challenge...

Tom Woody Date: 9/15/2024 5:12:00 PM Wise words, though sickness or disability, even loneliness often make it difficult to be positive Login to Reply Demetrios Trifiatis Date: 9/16/2024 5:20:00 AM I understand what you say, my dear friend, Tom. However, none of our disabled brothers lacks courage and determination to go on living. I believe they are more positive than the majority of us. They inspire us with their fighting spirit. At least four times I have faced predicaments that brought me at the threshold of eternity. I am still not out of the woods, but I am grateful to our Lord for His gift of life. Blessings my friend, and I thank you for your kind comment!

Tom Cunningham Date: 9/15/2024 8:40:00 AM Words of wisdom Demetrios, as we get older we should all adopt that positive attitude for we have lived life gaining experience and wisdom, we have also our heavenly reward to look forward to having lived a good life.
