When are you middle aged?

When are you middle aged?

By the time a person is wise enough to watch his/her step, he’s/she’s too old to go anywhere.
Middle age is when you have stopped growing at both ends and have begun to grow in the middle.
A person has reached middle age when he/she is cautioned to slow down by his/her doctor instead of by the police.
Middle age is having a choice of two temptations and choosing the one that will get you home earlier.
You know you’re into middle age when you realize that caution is the only thing you care to exercise.
Don’t worry about avoiding temptation. As you grow older, it will avoid you.
Growing old cannot be avoided – God has our life numbered, physical disciplines are good when they are done in moderation, but they will not force God into extending our life span. The gift of life is a gift from God to be used to for his purposes, for spiritual and heavenly reasons. Our concern should be to obey honor and praise and give glory to him, and let him care for us.

Psa 90:12  So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.
