Staying Younger at Old Age!

Too many of us are concerned about aging, and getting old. Too many people in their golden years think they are nearing the entry door of the elderly and sad to say, they always try to believe that they are inside the gateway towards the departure area, their final curtain, or, the end of everything, retirement, etc. Is that so? Why are we always bothered with this kind of perception which is not true? We are still here, alive and kicking! By this fact, we have to accept life with gratitude and enjoy the happiness of living because today, our life is a present that God has given us. And as long as God has endowed upon us this dear life, we have to go on, move forward, and carry the mission He has on us. We have to make use of our physical faculties because being an elderly is neither the final curtain nor the end of everything. You might not be aware that so many people around loves you very much that your presence here on earth serves as the guiding light of the younger generations that follow you.

We can still stay younger at our age. Why not? If we are going to add all our serial numbers and divide equally the total among us it will happen that the oldest among us becomes younger and the youngest becomes older. In mathematics, this is called a system of association or sharing. My point here is that we have to associate ourselves with the younger generations, our contemporaries, and our neighborhood because by doing so will make us feel younger at our age while we also make the younger generations become mature at their age by sharing our long years of experience in life. We should not confine our association only at home with our families. Every one of us must communicate with each other, share the gifts we have, the gifts God has given us, our talents, our capabilities alongside with the dear life we have at present, because every one of us, young and old is unique by nature of our capacity as a human being. So we have to make use of them and share these gifts with other people because we are created by God that way. And the beauty of His creation in us is part of the divine proportion He designed to establish a natural harmony among all His creations in this universe. We are all part of His master plan, and all of us have a share of that plan He wants us done. That’s why we are still here, living this kind of life as His present to us, no matter who you are, young and old, good or bad, rich or poor, etc.

We are all unique as a person, young and old. The uniqueness in every human being is God’s perfect design of harmony. And why are we unique with each other? Or, why did God made me an engineer not a church worker? And why are you made by God as church workers and not engineers? Or, why are others being made farmers, carpenters, fisherfolks, teachers, doctors, scientists, etc? There seems to be so many unending questions about why we are designed by God that way, as a unique individual. Do you think harmony in this world will exist if God made us all at the same time, with one human character and embracing one vocation? Could you just imagine what will happen? Who will feed us without the farmers? Who will provide us fish without the fisherfolks? Who will heal our physical illnesses without the doctors? Who will heal our lost souls without the religious ministers? And who will guide the younger generations without you?
