A familiar saying goes something like this: " Old age is a matter of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter!" That must have been John Kelley's attitude. Kelley, who died in 2004 at tge age of 96, ran in 58 Boston Marathons ( that's 26.2 miles each time)- including his last one in 1992 when he was 84 years old. Kelley's remarkable feat is a reminder to each of us that we must stay active as long as we can. Far too many folks hit middle age and put the body put their service for Jesus Christ in the same inactive mode. Each of us has a responsibility to God, as long as He gives us physical and mental strength, to work heartily " as to the Lord" (Col. 3:23). We are never called to retire from life and coast hometo heaven. The psalmist said that the righteous "shall still bear fruit in old age' (Ps 92.14). For those who are physically able, that means continuing in active sevice. For those who can no longer move about, that means being active prayer and in quiet service. Let's make sure old age doesn't stop us from bearing fruit. We nee to keep going for God. Growing old but not retiring, for the battle still is on; Going on without relenting Till the final victorys' won. God bless to all. Let us always stay youthful by staying useful...
