Aging is a promise – some people in the 80s and 90s still find joy and happiness.
They retain their memories. Let me say they know what day of the week, and the color of their shoes. They don’t have youthful energy, don’t sit all day, but get up and walk around, talk to family and friends.
You might have to ask them what their name is or where they live – that is a part of growing old.
Sing your favorite song. Pray your daily prayer. It is a blessing to get older each day that you are alive. It adds another number to your getting old.
Some people stay sharp. Retain your memories. It’s all right to ask something again.
Run, swim, play a little ball. Keep your energy and enjoy life deeply!

Our prayers and concern goes out to all the sick and shut-in, those in the hospital and nursing home, prison, homeless, all in need of help everywhere.
