Getting older choose life

Barb keeping the ol' man in shape

Morrie Swartz gives a great quote about aging, “Aging . . . is more than the negative that you’re going to die, it’s also the positive that you understand that you’re going to die, and that you live better because of it.” Yet in his book, Tuesdays with Morrie, he give no thought about the afterlife. Wise about knowing your mortal and chose to live better each day you have, but we also need hope with the here after. Since our experience with aging varies putting all our eggs in this life will have mixed results. Some people will have that retirement experience, walking idyllic locations and experiencing a well off many joys. Many of us will have to work and deal with lots of trials. In the end all of us may face hard times. For sure it is all unpredictable.

Choosing Christ as Savior or not is the biggest question of faith we find in this life. If we place our faith in the death, burial and Resurrection eternity with God is made sure. If not separation from God in eternity is also clearly taught. Our religion, our spirituality, and church have their importance, but the way of faith in Christ is a priority. Live well, but believe well too.
