“WHEN OLD AGE SETS IN”
By Dr. Hoyt W. Allen, Jr.
The following article came to me recently and I contended that I should pass it on. It has been slightly edited and a conclusion added.
1. Eventually you
will reach a point
when you stop lying
about your age and
start
bragging about it.
2. Don't let
anyone tell you
you're getting old.
Squash their toes
with your rocker.
3. The older we
get, the fewer
things seem worth
waiting in line for.
4. Some people try
to turn back their
odometers. Not me.
I want people to
know why
I
look this way. I've
traveled a long way
and some of the
roads weren't paved.
5. Maturity means
being emotionally
and mentally
healthy. It is that
time when you
know when to say yes
and when to say no,
and when to say
WHOOPEE!
6. The 11:00 PM
News is not nearly
as important as it
used to be.
7. When you are
dissatisfied and
would like to go
back to youth, think
of Chemistry
and Algebra.
8. I don't know
how I got over the
hill without getting
to the top.
9. The golden
years are really
just metallic years,
gold in the tooth,
silver in your hair,
and lead in the
seat.
10. Life would be
infinitely happier
if we could only be
born at the age
of 80 and
gradually approach
18.
11. Old age is when
former classmates
are so gray and
wrinkled, and blind
they don't
recognize you.
12. If you don't
learn to laugh at
trouble, you won't
have anything to
laugh at when you
are old.
Plainly, don’t get short changed. Let’s be ready to meet our Maker. The Bible teaches that to avoid hell and gain heaven - one must:
1) Believe In Jesus
As Savior (Acts
16:31) 2) Repent Of
Sins (Acts 17:30)
3) Confess Christ
Audibly (Acts
8:37) 4) Be
Baptized In Water
(Acts 2:38)
5) Live A Christian
Life (Acts 14:22)
6) Be Active In the
Church (Acts 2:47)
