For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. (Rom. 8:14)These verses wonderfully describe my life as God has directed my steps and has led me by His Spirit.
But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. (Gal. 5:18)
In their hearts humans plan their course, but the LORD establishes their steps. (Prov. 16:9)
A person’s steps are directed by the LORD. How then can anyone understand their own way? (Prov. 20:29)
LORD, I know that people’s lives are not their own; it is not for them to direct their steps. (Jer. 10:23)
This is a post for those who are getting old or considering themselves old, from 65-100. Right now, I am 91.* I will be 92 in October. I have my own house, but I cannot live in it alone because of my physical inability to move around. One of my sons lives with me. All of us will have to make some adjustments. That includes money, relatives, your own ability and willpower to stay independent, etc. My advice is if physically and financially you can live independently, you should certainly do that. If you do, you will still need to have visits from your family frequently. You need your family. Even if you don’t need them to take care of you, you need them for the fellowship. The more fellowship you have, the longer you’ll live. If you can stay independent do it, but only if friends and relatives can see you often. In my case, I can’t walk, and I can’t do much physically. So, whether I like it or not, someone else has to get me up, get me showered, and get me dressed. I am blessed to have
