Three Timeless Secrets

Is not wisdom found among the aged? Does not long life bring understanding? Job 12:12

You can learn a lot from 'Those who have lived a long time.' One elderly lady says: 'One benefit of living so long, is sharing what I've learned. So make my day by letting me share three secrets that can make your life better: 1) Time is precious, don't waste it! After my husband died I was staying with friends. One evening they started arguing and eventually stopped speaking. I know arguments happen; my husband and I had several major ones! But at that moment I understood like never before that the time we have together is precious. Don't waste it bickering about things that won't matter when your loved one's gone. Do everything you can to live in harmony and show your love. Why? Because no matter how long you have together, it's never enough. 2) You're making memories, make them good ones! Looking back I thank God for so many unforgettable moments. The day my husband died we kissed (as we always did when we parted), at noon. By 5.30 pm he was dead. I've always been glad about that final kiss. Create memories, not regrets! 3) It's not what happens, it's how you respond that counts! Every day holds new challenges that'll test your love and resolve. You have the power through Christ to make each test an occasion for growth. Life's full of seemingly unpleasant events. Try to handle them in such a way that when you're old you'll look back and say, "I thank You God for that experience; it helped me grow."'

Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank you for those older than me who teach me so much! Keep me listening and doing! In Jesus’ Name, Amen
