I ponder this question often, not only in myself but in others especially as I seem to have to "hurry up and wait" so often.
I remember fondly my great aunt who was very adamant that her Lord had promised she should have four score and seven years on this earth and she lived every day that I can remember working towards earning the rewards of that promise. I would often call home to find out she had gotten out of what I had been told was her sick bed to go take care of the "sick old people".
She got her four score and seven years and then went on to claim her reward.
Thank you for the opportunity to remember and honor Aunt Sis-Charlcey Jefferson, I love her and miss her a lot.
