Story 1:
When I wake up in the morning, my knees creak and my back is stiff.
If I felt this way in my youth, I would have taken a long, hot bath and stayed in bed.
Now it's just the start and end of my daily routine.
Today, I learned that my neighbor's home was lost to a fire. Suddenly, my aches seem insignificant.
"Thanks for reminding me, God, how blessed I am."
Story 2:
When I wake up in the morning, my hands are stiff and my joints throb.
If I felt this way when I was younger, I'd have skipped work and rested.
Now, it's just a part of my day-to-day existence.
I just found out that a colleague's child is battling a severe illness. My aches and pains pale in comparison.
"Thanks for reminding me, God, how blessed I am."
