Facts of Life

CNA’s who work in our nursing homes are a great group of professionals who are overworked and underpaid. We saw that for ourselves during our ministry there before Covid-19.  I told some of them, “When my time comes to be placed here, I will only require you to keep me warm and dry.  Also, don’t play that modern country and western music; it’ll make me hard to manage.”

My personal belief is that one should face the cold hard facts of life long before it befalls you.

Jesus expressed it well over 2000 years ago in communicating to Peter:

John 21:18-19

 Most assuredly, I say to you, when you were younger, you girded yourself and walked where you wished; but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will gird you and carry you where you do not wish.” This He spoke, signifying by what death he would glorify God. And when He had spoken this, He said to him, “Follow Me.”

Peter’s end was not promised to be pleasant. The prosperity preachers don’t teach this because it doesn’t go along with their false narrative of prosperity and health.

Think about it.
