SENIORS, OLD FRIENDS
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.
Two elderly ladies had been friends for many decades. Over the years, they had shared all kinds of activities and adventures. Lately, their activities had been limited to meeting a few times a week to play cards.
One day, they were playing cards
when one looked at the other and said, "Now don't get mad at me . I know we've
been friends for
a long time, but I just can't think of your name! I've thought and thought, but
I can't remember it. Please tell me what your name is."
Her friend glared at her. For at least three minutes she just stared and glared at her.
Finally she said...
"How soon do you need to know?"
It is a mystery how one deteriorates with time. If it is not joints wearing out it is arteries getting hard or plugging up and causing one major problems. 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)
