When it comes to our
purpose in life we should remember that age has no boundaries. Other words
whether you are young or elderly you have talents and gifts to share with
others.
I am sure we have seen
little kids on television performing acts that most of us would enjoy having
the talent to do so as well. With the elderly they have wisdom and experience
that we can learn from. This is even true of my ninety-seven year old mother who
doesn’t always remember things she has marvelous stories to tell. She remembers
things from the past more than today. Her memory though is still intact pretty
well. It is the little things like the day of the week and so on. When she had
her last physical a couple months ago she knew the day of the week though not
the month however she did know it is 2018. She was asked to say world backwards
and she said it faster than me thinking how to say it. LOL. The nurse said that
she never heard anyone say it so fast. She is still a smart woman even at her
age. She taught both French and German at high school level. She can still
speak both though she doesn’t use either that much.
It is important that we
encourage everyone in their gifts and talents no matter how old they are.
