The aging process

I just finished writing to my friend who is having a hard time, like me, enduring the aging process. Sometimes the natural ways of life are difficult and they become more so the older we get. Then it is easy for that enemy, self pity, to grab hold of us and drag us down some more. But we must not despair, we must lift our head high and with a smile on our face go forward and find that strength and peace that is surely within us, and that will carry us through the rest of life and help us to endure that which comes to us.

Aging

There are many laughs and jokes about the aging process. It seems like we can compare notes pretty good with others who are in the same cycle of life, all of which helps us to feel like we are not alone in the things we physically experience and feel.

Aging is a season of life that we can’t escape, unless called back to our heavenly home much earlier. I have dreaded the aging process way before I arrived at it, perhaps compounding the obvious somewhat difficulty of it. But it is part of the plan of life for us all, even though we don’t welcome its intrusion. We can’t hide or run from it. We can only do our best, as we ride the waves of aging.
