ALTERNATE UNIVERSE
The youngest
resident of our community is over 70. We have many residents who are far into
their nineties and at least two that are over 100 years old.
With that
knowledge, let me relate a recent conversation that I overheard between two
octogenarians. One asked the other, “How old are you?” The other replied, from
over her walker, “Forty.” The first lady began to correct her by saying, “You
have to be older than forty. I’m ninety-four, you know.” The second lady then
replied with, “Well, I look a lot older than I really am.”
End of
discussion.
Dear Lord,
why are we such sceptics? When will we learn to trust in You? When will we stop
questioning everything that happens? When will we stop trying to blame others,
for our problems? Help us to realize that Trust and Acceptance should be our
goals, in times of strife.
