The age old question one ponders on at almost forty nine; Am I too old? The world thinks so; they say I should run and hide. No where in His word does God tell me I’m too old for anything He asks me to do. So when did “ageism” become a weapon that the world seems to use? I’ve been a caregiver for a little over twenty years. Never climbed the ladder to the top though; God’s been with me through all my sweat and tears. I’ve learned so much from every patient I’ve ever met. When I first started at twenty three, I cared for “the greatest generation” and boy did they keep my “attitude” in check.! That’s not to say I always got it right as mistakes were definitely made. I’ve repented and tried my hardest to never make the same mistakes again. God has been my driving force the only unconditional love I’ve ever known. So why is the world telling me for this I am too old? When did looking at a persons age start to determine what He or she can do? God doesn’t say such things; in fact most of His disciples were much older than me or you. Caregiving is not as easy as it seems; but as long as you have God; He help you in your times of need. I love what I’ve done all throughout the years; my patients taught me valuable life lessons that will remain even in my fears. God never promised that we would never feel fear; He said He would help us through it; as long as we draw near. So I ask my fellow writers is almost forty nine considered too old? I think not; I believe some in this world have grown cold.
