Will You Be As Old As This? Let me tell you a story. One day, an old couple who are in their nineties were getting very forgetful. While watching TV, the man stood up to go to the kitchen. The wife said, “Where are you going?” The husband said, “To the kitchen.” “Can you give me a bowl of ice cream?” “Sure,” the man said. “And can you put some bananas in it? But I think you need to write it down. You might forget.” The husband shook his head, “Of course not. You want a bowl of ice cream with bananas.” “And if it’s not too much to ask, can you crush some peanuts and sprinkle it on top?” “Sure.” “But I think you really need to write it down or you’ll forget.” He became irritated. “I’ll remember! You want a bowl of ice cream with bananas and nuts!” He went and disappeared in the kitchen. When he came back, he handed her a plate of scrambled eggs and sliced bread. The wife looked at the plate and said, “My gosh. You forgot the ketchup!” Growling Old Together I have a dream. Ask my wife this and she’ll tell you that I’m crazy about this dream. I tell her my dream all the time. I want to grow old with my wife. I believe God designed our friendships to last forever. When you grow old, you’ll realize that life is about relationships. Your body will weaken. Your mind will forget. Your eyesight will dim. Your hearing will become faint. Your house will decay. Your car will rust. Your bank account will shrink. But there’s one thing that can still keep growing: Your love for one another. Everything else will grow old except your love.
