"Back in the days when we...were so Young nd Wild nd Free"!!!

I rmb where this one time where my Pastor Uncle was preaching at another church, and I attended service there on that day.

He said:

When you're young, You'd always be looking FORWARD to things. You always want to know what happens in the next step of life.
But when ur old, you start counting BACKWARDS. Like, you'll start thinking...when am I going to die? (Starts happening around middle-age, 40-50 yrs)

As a toddler, u probably wished u could be one of those cool elementary school kids. When u became an elementary skool kid, then you probably wanted to be one of "them" High School Students, cuse they jus look too "ying" with those textbooks in their hands, or ppl doin drugs everywhere lol iunno. And when u become a High School student, u long for the freedom in University. And during the time ur in Uni, You'd want to go out and work...nd to live ur life. basically, the smaller & young always look up to the bigger & old ones...cuse i did.

(I dun rmb me thinking so much lke tht...but im sure this could apply to a lotta other ppl)

After a few years past, nd you start retiring...your whole mind set changes. You'll be thinking, How much longer do I have, to live on this earth? When u sleep, you won't be looking forward to a tomorrow anymore. But counting how many days of ur life is left. You'll be wishing...you were back in the days, when you were so "young and wild and free" (like how i incorporated tht lol).

But the Bible tells us...to LOOK FORWARD....cuse the KINGDOM of heaven is almost near!! Why does it matter when u die....when u know, the place ur going to is gonna be a LOT BETTER anewayz. You should be WANTING to go...not sayin u should want to die or anythin, but God has an even greater place in store for you.

(Btw, not too sure if this applies to everyone, but i found it really true.)
