Life at its best has many entry points through the ages and stages of existence. Appointments and disappointments come along the way, and usher us from one season of life to another. In order to find one's way through life's transitions, it is suggested that one choose a mentor or portfolio of mentors through life's seasons. When one is older, a recreational group, e-mail or pen pal friendship circle, or a prayer group helps an individual to stay in touch with reality and to foster wellness. Coming to terms with old age requires adaption to multiple losses, relying on a support network for meeting needs, and anticipating a merciful death.
Healthy life is more than luck or fate.
It is human existence, formed into the image of Christ, which is God's dream for us. Ill health may not be God's desire but His permissive will played out in life's chances, choices, and circumstances. Faith holds that God is on the side of health, always wanting the best for his creation. And when death comes, faith stretches its hands into God's strong care for the journey beyond that immortal sea to eternity. How Biblical Truth Can Keep You Healthy .
