Recently, we had my folks here. Its just quite sobering to see two people who you considered strong to be weak as they advance in years. My Dad, who is now 85 years old, suffers from Parkinson’s disease. My 76 year old Mom, is also not strong as she used to. Both now require some attention most of the time, though they try to maintain an active lifestyle. They can longer do the long walks they need to do or take the long trips which were common place in their younger years. It takes a lot of maintenance medicine to keep them healthy as opposed to just taking wrinkle serum. My prayer is that they don’t go suddenly and that they would be well prepared to face the Lord when the time come. I desire that they come to the full understanding of the finished work of Christ on the cross and that it is faith in Him that will assure their place in Heaven.
