What are your thoughts on the concept of living a very long life?
I believe a long life can be a blessing if you live it well.
I’m not saying live it up partying and carrying on, although if the lifespan is over 100 years, goofing around might be a little difficult.
Living well is taking care of yourself in the body, mind, and spirit. I read recently that the oldest lady in Japan was active even in her eighties, hiking and walking. She contributed her longevity to eating well and being active. Good for her but then she died.
The other lady in Brazil believes it is a gift from God. He is the one that is blessing her, so she remains active in her church community.
Studies show that people who take care of themselves, especially those who are active in their religious communities and beliefs live about ten years longer than the average person.
Amen to that.
I believe that living long is a blessing from the Lord and that living independently financial, mentally, physically, and emotionally is a double blessing.
But none of us know when our time is up on this earth, so living a good life, a life without regrets, and without offending or harming others is a blessed and pleasing life indeed.
Amen.
