YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU DON’T KNOW.

Our human, Earthly bodies are not meant for immortality. Yes, our human body will go with us into eternity, but this earthly body will break down!

Our job, as good citizens on this planet, as responsible family members, as people who strive to remain independent for as long as God allows us, is to take care of our bodies, to manage our bodies, and to prepare for the inevitability of slowing down, of breaking down, and understanding and accepting that we will have to slow down.

Does that make sense?

I still act like I’m 25 too much of the time. I’m not. My body reminds me of that constantly. Almost daily. And suddenly, I feel like I’m 85.

Life happens. Sometimes, you have to slow down. You have to recover from an illness, an injury, or surgery.

Your mindset changes.

You have to fight against despair.

You have to accept a new reality.

You have to reclaim a mindset of independence.

It’s not easy.

But you have to do it.

To ignore it is a mistake. To deny it is a mistake and might just be arrogance.

Don’t be arrogant with your Creator.

We have a duty to cooperate with Him and to participate in His work. But we also have a duty to obedience.

This might be a little heavy for some of you. But it’s the truth.

There can only be one truth. Follow the Truth.
