While we are young and strong we are so full of our selves but as we grow older and the body starts to fail us and our minds are not as sharp as it used to be, the world we were so certain of no longer provides the comforts we used to believe we cannot be without, the ones who are really blessed gets to know the Lord ever better and can draw on Him for strength and understanding. Growing really old in itself is not the great blessing that young people would like to imagine. The only true blessing is our relationship with the Lord and provides us with a better tomorrow to look forward to. Yesterday we had a bit of a family reunion and my mom got to be with 2 of her brothers and 2 sisters again, ages ranging from 70 - 88. It makes you understand why we should count our blessings one by one and be thankful while we have it, you never know when it may be taken away from you. Old age is a leveler, the more dependent you become on others, the more you get stripped of all pride and ego. The ones who really love and know the Lord seem to be able to let go far easier and do not battle so hard with the need to be in control of all around them. Living long is not really as glamorous as it is made out to be but knowing the Lord is even more important than we ever thought.
