As each of us move through life from conception to birth to youth to marriage sometimes to middle Age and to older ages we might experience life in various different ways because of our life experiences along the way. In other words my present state of being 72 I might be very grateful not to have the testosterone issues that I once had from ages 12 into my 40s for example which brought many girlfriends into my life along the way. Was all that good or bad? I don't really know at this point. I'm just grateful I don't have the intense feelings that I used to have about all that. I'm just grateful to be married to a good woman who helps me stay alive and is my good friend at this point.
I remember being 25 years old and telling my friends that maybe (sort of like George Clooney used to be before he married) that was I going to just have a long series of Girlfriends throughout my life?
However, by age 26 I was married with a son which seems kind of funny to look back on now and married and raising a family. The 25 year old had to psychologically die or morph into being a father. I was completely amazed at the respect the world gave me for getting married and financially supporting my new wife and child!
I found I liked being treated better than I had when I was dating many girls from 15 to 25 years of age.
And most of all I was VERY relieved to be with one person for awhile while raising my son and raising him right.
The point I'm trying to make here is that each of us often are many different people throughout our lives if we are adaptable enough. It's sort of like wearing many hats as a businessman. If you are adaptable enough, the world is your oyster, if not then the world might be difficult for you in many ways.
Luckily, I was always very adaptable. I always had the Actor Gene where I was always good at taking on new roles successfully in life. This isn't true of everyone but it was true of me.
Because God designed me in this way I'm still alive here at 72 almost 73.
By God's Grace
