Life's Worthwhileness
Illustration★★★★There is nothing more enervating than to see one who has been privileged to attain old age discouraged and disheartened, and failing to see the worth-whileness of the life through which he has passed. By the same token, there is nothing more energizing than to see one, who, having passed through life, yet rejoices and finds that wherof to be glad. Careful consideration of these two as- pects of old age makes one come to the conclusion that the difference between happy old age and unhappy old age is determined by the degree to which the individual has attained to a life in Christ.
The point
The difference between happy and unhappy old age lies in whether one has lived a life centered in Christ.
