Read the post below. It seems if we live long enough and we aren't killed out right then either our body will fail us or our mind. I guess that's just the way it is. For those who don't know, I'm a minister who spends lots of time in extended care homes. If your family has been able to stay out of them, God has richy Blessed you. At times I wonder why these people have to live like this. Some are totally dependent on others. Some have no company and are simply left in a place to die by uncaring family or perhaps they have no family. It's rough to think that maybe I'll "get like that". But it does happen.
If you have healthy family or family who can make it at home, be thankful. From the thread below we have guys here in who don't. My heart goes out to you. To those of you with healthy bodies and a little time, visit a nursing home. Just walk in and sit down with the first person you think can talk with you. Most are lonely and love to talk. My first question is mostly, "Where you from?" Where did you work? Where were you raised? It just kinda flows from there. You will feel like you've done some good when you leave. You go to be a blessing to others and you will leave feeling blessed.............Creeker
