How to Age Gracefully

HOW do you feel when the thought of aging comes up? It fills many with concern, anxiety, and even dread.  This is because aging is usually associated  with negatives, such as diminished looks,  a frail body, memory loss, and chronic diseases. 

However, the fact is that people differ greatly in the way they age. Some enjoy relatively good health, physically and mentally, in their later years.  Advances in medicine have enabled others to treat or control chronic illnesses. As a  result, in some lands more and more people are living longer and healthier lives.  

Nevertheless, whether confronted with age-related  problems or not, most people wish to be able to age gracefully.  How can this be done?  In part, doing so depends on our attitude and our willingness and ability to  adapt to this new phase in life. To help in these areas, let us consider some simple and practical Bible principles.
