Young looking

Do you think that people who follow the Lord look younger?
Do people who live a relatively holy life (with the Holy Spirit's help) look better with age?

I often wonder these things. When I see some of the pictures of people in Hollywood, without their make-up; the ones who have lived a bit on the wild side, they seem older than normal.

Then I see other people, who have strived after the Lord for many years, and they seem to have the fountain of youth.

I'm not one who is that concerned with wrinkles or gray hair. In fact, I don't mind seeing gray sprouting out, but every once in a while I run into an old classmate and they all seem to say the same thing; "you haven't aged a bit, how do you stay looking so young." I usually respond by saying that it's the Lord or I have found a secret. Now that doesn't mean I've been an angel, but it's just something I think about. Like my mother-in-law....she's been serving the Lord for many, many years and she looks great!! I don't think there is any other older woman I know that looks so young for their age.

The one thing I can feel that is different is how my body reacts to sitting in one position for a long time. Like when Paul and I are sitting on the couch, watching a movie, I get sooooo stiff. That makes me feel like an old woman. Other than that, I feel great.

Mom, of course not!! You should know yourself, especially when you are called the daughter of someone your own age. I refer to you as my sexy mother-in-law.
