How to Live a Long Life

Living a long life!

Isn't that what we want?   Isn't that what we want for our children? ...and our grandchildren?

How does this happen?  Is there a formula?

Throughout history, hasn't mankind....which includes we womenkind also...well, haven't we tried to stay young?

We can look at the Persians in the book of Esther, and we can see the time spent on the outward appearance!

Egypt also?!  ....and ...well in all of the earth...among all the cultures...man/woman have tried to ornate the human body!

Look throughout the earth at the hairstyles! Look at the implants!! Look at all the color and glitter on the body!!!

Surgeries to make us larger! to make us smaller!! Tucks and lifts!!

Some even change their gender!!

I've been part of it myself...I'm not talking down...I'm looking up!

Our culture...mine at least...the western world here ... the U. S. A....well, don't we put way too much emphasis on how we look instead of how we do?

Isn't there much more time spent on exercising our bodies...jogging...work-outs...riding bikes...swimming...marathon-ing...etc...even yoga-ing...

And, then hair salons...manicures...pedicures...tattoo-ing...

Let's think how many hours we spend on this outer-man?

And, what about our leisure time...the time we spend watching t.v., playing games, social-networking, reading novels or how-to books...even the classes we take to enlighten our understanding about so many things...so that we are able to do as we like?

I can plead guilty to many of the above-named items...and have turned to a better way...

My prayer is that I've gotten your attention...

My prayer is that I'm going to keep your attention...

This is the beginning of a walk with God toward long, abundant life!

Stick with me as we walk this out together...

Arm in Arm!!

Emily here......So blessed that you are taking our eyes off what we see, and placing them on the inner person of the heart; unseen, but of absolute, uttermost importance. 2 Corinthians 4:18 (KJV)
18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
