STILL GOING STRONG

I was speaking to a man yesterday who is 95 years old. He still has all his mental faculties and is fascinating to speak with. Many old people can be rigid in their thinking but he has an ability to be flexible, and when you speak with him, you know that He has a deep relationship with God. He walks well with a walking stick and still drives a car. He still preaches at various Churches and is still excited about winning people to Christ. He has led many people to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. He amazes me. I want to grow old like that.

In GENESIS 17 Abraham is 99 years old and still going strong.
