The art… or NOT… of getting old

Youth is a life cycle blessed with taut and wrinkle-free skin, endless curiosity, boundless energy and a wealth of pluses.

Getting paranoid about the onset of old age is a natural human reaction.  Gaining pounds on our body and finding wrinkles on our face can prove to be the unwanted milestones in our physical life.  My personal belief is that if we tackle life with positive energy and work on our inner beauty, feeding our mind with positive thoughts and nourishing our soul with daily acts kindness, aging shouldn't be so scary after all.  A wise someone once told me:  "We end up with the face we deserve."

Below are THEN and NOW photos of celebrities.  What a difference the years make!  Thanks to my friend Lina for passing these on.

DO YOU NOT KNOW THAT YOUR BODIES ARE TEMPLES OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, WHO IS IN YOU, WHOM YOU HAVE RECEIVED FROM GOD? YOU ARE NOT YOUR OWN; YOU WERE BOUGHT AT A PRICE. THEREFORE HONOR GOD WITH YOUR BODIES. 1 Cor 6:19-20

TO GOD BE THE GLORY.
HONOR GOD. MAKE DISCIPLES.
