Then I noticed the cane in his right hand and decided to look the other 
way. 

Until the nurse came to take him in to see the doctor, he was muttering
under his breath and I did not want to hear what he was muttering. The 
meanness on his face gave me pause to think a little bit. 

Casually, I looked around the room and saw most of the people were old
and nobody looked very happy. When they walked up to sign in, they 
limped. When the nurse got him to take them back to see their doctor, 
they staggered and limped. 

At the time, I did not know what to do. Then a smile began creeping
across my face. I had to be careful that I did not laugh aloud. A 
wonderful thought danced in my mind. 

Looking around very carefully I noticed one stunning fact. That fact
was, I am not as old as I thought I was. When I got up that morning, I 
felt old and decrepit. Now I was around people that were really old. 
Compared to them, I was a babe in swaddling clothes. 

I then remembered what David said. “They shall still bring forth fruit
in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing” (Psalm 92:14). 

I am at the place now where I can begin to enjoy the fruit of my old
age.
