This story is told about a man who had reached the ripe old age of 100 years. On his birthday reporters came to interview him.
One of them asked, “To what do you attribute your old age?”
He replied, “I breathe fresh air, take plenty of rest, and do not eat too much. I live at careful life.”
The reporter said, “I had an uncle who did all these things and he died when he was only 50 years old.”
The old man retorted, “The trouble with your uncle was that he did not keep it up long enough!”
We must always take good care of ourselves but in the final analysis our fate is in God’s hands.
