Billy Graham, arguably America’s most famous Christian evangelist and preacher, is 93 years old as I write this.
Graham’s birthday comes just after the release of his newest book, Nearing Home: Life, Faith, and Finishing Well.
In his book – which covers subjects such as spirituality, the struggles and pleasures of growing old, as well as advice on financial planning – Rev. Graham writes:
“I never thought I would live to be this old. All my life I was taught how to die as a Christian, but no one ever taught me how I ought to live in the years before I die.”
“I wish they had because I am an old man now, and believe me, it’s not easy.”
My thoughts:
As we age, the things we have been believing about aging begin to show up. If we believe that Life is a Struggle – then aging will be a struggle for us. If we instead believe that we become better with age, so shall it be!
