对今日诗句的想法
尽管我们拿衰老当成玩笑的话题，衰老的挑战还是巨大的。我们意识到自己是必朽之人。我们的身体可能会不听从我们。过去能做到的事，现在却做不到了。作为基督徒，我们知道衰老只是意味着离天家更近，离耶稣要赐给我们永不朽坏之身体的时刻也近了。神使用我们身体上实际的困难，来提醒我们什么才是最重要的。藉着圣灵的帮助，我们会变得更加像我们的救主，也更好地预备自己回天家。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
While we joke about growing older, the challenges of aging are tough. We realize our mortality. Our bodies can betray us. We can't do what we once could do. As Christians, we know that our aging actually brings us closer to home and to the time when Jesus gives us immortal bodies not subject to decay. God can help us use these physical realities to be heavenly reminders of what is important. With the help of his Spirit, we can be transformed to be more like our Savior and to be more ready for our heavenly home!
我的祷告
全能的神，我承认自己越变老，就越希望慢一点老去。然而，我很感恩，这过程的每一天，都越来越靠近回天家见你面的那日。求你帮助我，使我不要因为年龄的增长而变得愤世嫉俗、消极厌世、或满怀苦毒。求你更新我，使用我去帮助那些尚未找到归家之路的人。奉耶稣大能的名求，阿门！
My Prayer...
Almighty God, I confess that I like getting older less and less, the older I get. I am thankful, however, that each day older I get, the closer I am to coming home to you. Please help me not to become cynical, negative, or bitter as I grow older. Instead, please renew me and use me to bless others who need to find their way home to you. In Jesus' mighty name I pray. Amen.
