When I was younger, I remember people older than me saying, "Never get old!" I'd just smile as I certainly could not relate to that statement! Now as my joints begin to deteriorate and inhibits me from doing certain things, I find myself saying the same thing to younger people. Jumping into a new sport or activity was never a problem when I was younger. Now I pay the price (to M & M Orthopedics!) and realize the birthdays of my life have added up to ....well....I'd rather not say! I remind myself there are MANY worse things in life! So I am thankful for what I have and not dwell on what I don't have. After all...what's really happening here, is because I chose life, I'm drawing nearer to the day I'll be present with my Savior. No more birthdays to add up there (but go ahead and wish me a happy birthday when it's here anyway). "Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day." II Corinthians 4:16
