SENIORS AND EXERCISING

 

                                                           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) Walking can add minutes to your life. This enables you at 85 years old to spend an additional 5 months in a nursing home at $5000 per month.
  2) My grandmother started walking five miles a day when she was 60.  Now she's 97 years old and we don't know where she is.
  3) The only reason I would take up exercising is so that I could hear heavy breathing again.
  4) I joined a health club last year, spent about 400 bucks. Haven't lost a pound. Apparently you have to go there.
  5) I have to exercise early in the morning before my brain figures out what I'm doing.
  6) I like long walks, especially when they are taken by people who annoy me.
  7) I have flabby thighs, but fortunately my stomach covers them.
  8) The advantage of exercising every day is that you die healthier.
  9)
If you are going to try cross-country skiing, start with a small country.
10) And last but not least: I don't exercise because it makes the ice jump right out of my glass.

   May we never be guilty of kidding ourselves.  Someday - we are all going to depart this life.  That is what the “Good Book” (Bible) says, and believe me one can count on it as being true to the very end.  However, no matter how bad we have been we have a God who is filled with love, forgiveness, mercy, and compassion.  He is open to forgive us, if we will accept Him - read on!

 

   Plainly, don’t get short changed.  Let’s be ready to meet our Maker.  The Bible (in Acts) teaches that to avoid hell and gain heaven - one must:

1) Believe In Jesus As Savior (16:31)  2) Repent Of Sins  (17:30)  

3) Confess Christ Audibly (8:37)  4) Be Baptized In  Water (2:38)  

5) Live A  Christian Life (14:22)   6) Be Active In the Church (2:47)
