A Smooth Ride When You Are Young
Life is like a fine-tuned roller coaster when you are young and carefree. Most days are filled with joy and laughter as you play with your friends. Spending time with your parents is a joy as they teach you something new daily. A young child will ask their parents question after question as that is their way of learning. I enjoyed it when my Mother read to me before I slept at night. Eating at the dinner table was always fun as we discussed our day’s activities. We ate at about 8 or 9 PM since my Father was a farmer. I used to love to ride my trike and later on my bicycle and walk around the farm. I would be followed by some of my cats, our family dog, and one rooster on occasion. I followed my grandfather and Father around the farm and learned much about repairs over the years. I loved going to college as I took mainly all business courses, which came in handy for my work.
As We Grow Old, We Tend To Feel The Sharp Turns And Speed Of The Roller Coaster
Old age creeps up on a person very slowly at first, as you may have a few more aches and pains than you used to have. We discover as we age that we wear out a lot faster from work activities than we used to be able to sail through. As one’s health begins to deteriorate, the roller coaster speeds out of control until we learn how to live with what we have going on at this particular time. There is an old saying that says old age is not for sissies. Oh, how very true that statement is. Our joints ache, and we have days where we feel like we are 100 years old. Time is going too fast, and our roller coaster might jump off the track if we cannot accept the changes that old age will eventually bring to each of us.
We Must Pray To God To Keep Us Safe On The Roller Coaster Of Life
God knows what we are experiencing every moment of our lives. God has a purpose for our experiences in life that will remain unknown to us until we are reunited with our Lord And Savior. Sometimes, we think maybe we did something to deserve being sick or the plight of our living conditions. I say no to that. Everyone has ups and downs in their life, and all of us will experience pain and the loss of loved ones in our lives. The roller coaster of life has many wonderful and unique rides that we never want to forget, and of course, there are moments we would love to forget. Job was tested by God many times, but he kept his faith. We must keep our faith from all adversity that comes our way in life, for it will surely head our way in our lifetime. Glory be to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. Sing praisees to God every day.
