Have you noticed that the closer you get to an age that you once thought of as old the further back "old age" gets. Aging sometimes is depressing because our minds do not age at the same rate as our bodies do. In my mind I am still 20 y.o. but trying to do the same things you did at 20 you soon learn that your body is not going to take it anymore.
In general the Bible only promises us 3 score & 10 years, a score= 20 years, you do the math. Which begs the question, when you live beyond you 70 years does it matter how? I say yes, while you are living on borrowed time, we muct always try to be an influence to others. We can learn a lot from the "horrey" headed population, but too many of us (me included) are too busy to take the time to listen. The Bible commands us to respect & honor them and furthermore we are to take care of them as well when they are not able to take care of themselves. Think about the example you set for your children by lovingly taking care of your aging parents because remember.... They will be choosing your nursing home!
