“THINKABOUTIT” THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Monday; February 11, 2008

 

          I remember when I was growing up and watching those old people (you know the forty and fifty year olds) I recall thinking, “Man, when I am there age I hope I don’t feel as bad as they look.”.  Well, I am … and I do.  It seems like every day I wake up with a new ache in a place I didn’t even know I had!

          Growing old, can be a pain; but, the good news is that even though the body may not be what it was years ago, the spirit can be even better.  We are all going to get to the point to where our bodies (which were created to be used for only a few decades) are going to show signs of wear and tear; but, that doesn’t have to deter our eternal spirit.  The great thing about contentment is that it doesn’t have to be dictated by the nerve ending attached to our joints, muscles and tendons … it is manifested by what’s in our soul.  Let’s take comfort in the Bible’s encouragement that notes, “… do not lose heart, but though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day.”  (II Corinthians 4:16).

          Think about it!  For the Madison Avenue Church of Christ; this is Charlie Wharton.
