I can appreciate what these young people see, but they really cannot appreciate what I have seen through the years. That is simply, God always takes care of his people.

they having so much fun? 

Don't they know how miserable the world is today? Don't they know how
sad and horrific things are on the outside? The hatred, the anger, the 
putrefaction of the world as we know it. 

Quickly my smile turned upside down and I frowned. 

It then came to me. These kids in the mall having a wonderful time were
not all caught up with what is going on out in the world. Their world 
is a world of fun and excitement. It is only the “old geezers” that 
know about all of the terrible things going on in the world. The young 
only see the good. 

In pondering this, I asked myself a very serious question. Why in the
world did I grow up? 

Why couldn't I have stayed young and naïve and only focused on having a
good time? If I had stayed young, I probably would not be so depressed 
by everything that is going on “out in the world.” 

In pondering this, I thought of what David once said. “I have been
young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor 
his seed begging bread” (Psalms 37:25). 

I can appreciate what these young people see, but they really cannot
appreciate what I have seen through the years. That is simply, God 
always takes care of his people.
