Life is short, and the older you get, the more you feel it. Indeed, the shorter it is. People lose their capacity to walk, run, travel, think, and experience life. You realize how important it is to use the time you have. Try being grateful for what you have rather than fearful of what you do not. Be courageous to look at things in the face and know them for what they are. Defeat isn’t bitter if you don’t swallow it. The Lord inspires.
