Aging and Physical Challenges
voluntary service which includes Mennonite Disaster
Service in nine states, selected a board of directors to
which I belong on Mennonite (MCC) clothing centers,
camps, etc. Presently my wife and I are taking water
aerobics and doing some traveling (short trips), and
taking care of grandchildren. Think hard and rest a
plenty!

Aging is a natural progression of things. It happens.
Again, God is in control. I used to wonder why people
had to suffer with pains, aches, sickness, etc. as they
grew older, and it occurred to me one day that perhaps
God allows this so we
will
eventually want to leave this
life for our reward. If we felt young and good all the
time, we would not want to leave.

I am a firm believer that you can do anything you
want to do (or be anything you want to be). As we get
older, our physical ability may slowly decrease, and
frustration may set in, but accept early on in life that this
is going to happen, and plan some strategies, start
early taking care of yourself before you start "falling
apart."
