Aging and Physical Challenges
until they have lived it. Live each day to the fullest, as
if it were your last (and it may be according to God's
will) . Take nothing for granted. Do your very best at
whatever you do, and don't worry about tomorrow.
Take care of yourself spiritually, physically, and
mentally as if you could live forever and may die
tomorrow.
Meet each physical challenge with willpower and
determination. "There is power in positive thinking." Do
not brood, nor indulge in self pity. Keep a positive
attitude and remember: "When you smile the world
smiles with you -- when you cry you cry alone." Be
concerned with your physical health and have regular
checkups with your doctor, but do not be a
hypochondriac. Keep active and pray.

human standpoint. For example, Eliab, who was tall
and handsome and one man thought was the
representative to lead Israel; however, God chose
Samuel.
