This week Sunday School lesson is coming from the Book of Ecclesiates chapters 11 and 12. Solomon advised that if a person is to be wise in old age, he must properly prepare for it while young. Young people need to think about aging because the quality of their latter years largely depends upon how they behave right now. Some youth age their bodies prematurely with se***l sin or drunkenness. Others are just careless, spending too much time in the sun, staying up too late, and eating rich and fatty foods. By the time they are 45, they are already “old.” Their old age is likely to be a litany of regrets. How do you feel about this advice?

While all my friends are struggling to feel and look increasingly younger, I get hurt, more often, of old age. In our tender moments in the talk, my husband and I think as we have over the years. And it's disturbing to imagine ... We talk about our children and grown people arrived for us, two old servants left the old passions, but leading a quiet life with more and more lazy than we allowed today. Imagine how you look, what clothes we wear, and details of the design in mind, make us laugh, happy, love soul having gathered in future years crossed with the power of thought. Perhaps it's all a form of relieving worries this. Imagine yourself in the future, at the end of the road and life, is a strange way to get your project a successful existence. We both, the old dream of living with our eyes open, we prove that we went well over all obstacles. As we made large and beautiful children that I raised properly and that they drove their way to the right steps. Our love proved by time, depth, earning a chance at eternity. And then, returned from reverie, we can thank one another for infinity lived together. For the victories of a life, the power to remain a happy family, loving our children, loving one another. And all future years carry in your heart, precious burden, get back to today's youth. Richer, more confident in new, more dignified and compassionate confident that our destiny was given.

Wonderful and very true. We must prepare for our old age and make it as the most wonderful phase of our life. How can we have it if we are careless and stubborn and just plain stupid.
