LUKE 1:5-25 – NEVER TOO OLD (OR YOUNG)!

CHRISTMAS REVISITED #2

• What goes up but never comes down? Your age!
• Aging gracefully is like the nice way of saying you're slowly looking worse.
• The older we get, the earlier it gets late.
• You know you're getting older when you have a party and the neighbors don't even realize it.
• Why am I getting older and wider instead of older and wiser?
• These are not gray hairs! They are wisdom highlights! I happen to be very wise.
• You're not getting older, you're just becoming a classic! Old People Jokes & Puns - Funny Jokes for Seniors (bestlifeonline.com)
