Coping with old age
Old age is a time to look back to life and think about what life is all about! Consider it a time to relax, and enjoy yourself by doing small activities your health allows you to do. Maybe starting a hobby is one of the best things you can do to occupy yourself. Creativity brings happiness as we indulge in the hobby.
Never lose self-respect and learn how to age gracefully, planning things ahead without being a burden over others. Try to help others, and give generously. Because Bible puts it this way
Luke 6:38
Practice giving,+ and people will give to you.+ They will pour into your laps a fine measure, pressed down, shaken together, and overflowing. For with the measure that you are measuring out, they will measure out to you in return.” [New world translation]
