As Old as the Hills
Do you ever feel as old as the hills? It is possible whether we are 18 or 80.
The hills of Kentucky have existed longer than any of us have lived. So have most hills and mountains. That does not stop us from saying people or possessions are as old as the hills.
• Those of us who hate to shop wear clothes as old as the hills.
• When tired, we feel as old as the hills.
• We describe well-worn furniture as old as the hills.
Our society values youth. Many people think older adults are over the hill.
They don’t understand the benefits that come with age.
• Years of experience
• Wisdom from life lessons
• Appreciation for how fast time passes
Regardless of how old we are or how old we feel, let’s give thanks for:
• Every age
• The beauty of the hills around us
• The one who created all
“Were you born before the hills were made?” (Job 15:7 NIV).
