Why does God let us get old and weak?

A woman who was facing the difficulties of aging asked Bible teacher J. Robertson McQuilkin,
“Why does God let us get old and weak?”

McQuilkin replied,
“I think God has planned the strength and beauty of youth to be physical.
But the strength and beauty of old age is spiritual.
We gradually lose the strength and beauty that is temporary so we’ll be sure to concentrate on the strength and beauty that is forever.
And so we’ll be eager to leave the temporary, deteriorating part of us and be truly homesick for our eternal home.
If we stayed young and strong and beautiful, we might never want to leave.”

小女八个月了

这个月份，女儿经历了令人难忘的手足口症。

口腔疼痛，导致睡眠不安，难以进食吞咽。

虽然手足口症为期10至14天，还好疼痛只维持了三天。

发育进展
- 看见家人与熟人会用笑来打招呼。
- 可以自己坐着和玩具玩一阵子。
- 正在玩着的玩具不见了，会自己寻找一下。
- 手伸长了，想拿她还拿不到的东西。
- 会把手上拿着的玩具传到另一个手中。
- 咬啮玩具是她的最爱。
- 会爬了！但有时仍撞撞跌跌的。
- 俯卧时可向前或后退，也能用双手和膝部著力趴着挺起身来。


八个月大的最后一个星期
- 长出两颗下门牙！
- 能攀附家具站起来了！
- 能自己握着奶瓶喝奶了！
- 背向她时，会咿咿啊啊的拉妈妈的衣服。
