John Crist shared his thoughts on the right and grateful way to view aging. The popular funnyman had some insightful words on getting older. Watch the short, but powerful and moving clip to hear what John had to say about the proper way to view the aging process.

Time is something that no one can or will ever be able to stop. It constantly marches forward, going into the future and not stopping or waiting for anyone. Unfortunately, as everyone knows, no matter how much we ignore or despise our birthdays, aging is a consistent and constant process as well. Even though beauty may promise otherwise, there is no way to stop, reverse or slow down the aging process. Human beings get older, and that is a fact of life.

Even though getting older is a fact, many still struggle with it. They may lie about their age or refuse to acknowledge their birthdays, but that doesn’t really change anything. So, instead of avoiding and lying about getting older, why not do something else about it? Why not be grateful for getting older, and perhaps even celebrate aging?

In a clip posted on YouTube, John shared the right way to confront aging. Simply be thankful for another day of life and make the most of it. We are not promised tomorrow. Thank the Lord for giving us another day of life when He did not have to do that at all.

“That’s the right way to look at it,” he said. “If you had to look at it one of the two ways, that’s the way to look at it.”

Later in the clip, John imagined what our lives would be like if we took this approach to getting older.

“What if that was us?” he asked. “What if you could live like that?”

He also added “that’s the way, and “this is the way.”
