Wow, I am feeling ever so guilty!! I will hope I see some female feedback here on this topic to vindicate me! LOL
My friends mother is 103, very alert and when I visited she was busy crocheting baby caps for the hospital newborns. She also plays bridge and keeps her nails polished! She is quite a lady!
We are not all alike! Are your opinions also appropriate for your mothers?
There is a whole grocery list of reasons which I wont bore you with that I retired from nursing when I did. However, the day I retired I told the Lord that the rest of my days would be for Him and much of my time spent in coming to know HIm better. That was before I'd ever heard of the doctrines of grace! Whew, once I came to know HIm in His majestic sovereignty I just couldnt hear enough or read enough!
I've never been on a cruise nor have I desired to. I dont go to Branson or spend money on entertainment. I read much! My life is full and until now I never felt guilty about it. I thanked Him for providing to me after raising six children, nursing my mother until her death, then my husband until his death and many other challenges He guided me through that strengthened me!
We are all different, have different abilities and even different diseases and impairments! I'd love to be like the 103 yr old lady but the fact is I'm not!
I always felt our Lord provided me with these days to spend at His feet and I so love doing just that!
