Abraham Lincoln was a tall man for his day and times. Once, a man trying to make a joke of that asked him “How long should a man’s legs be?”
Lincoln replied “They should be long enough to reach the ground.”
At five feet, four inches I am a short man, but my legs reach the ground. That is all that matters. My teenage grandsons are in the neighborhood of six feet and are still growing, but they each have what is needed.
What about my lifespan? How long should it be? As I write this I have passed my 80th birthday. My father died when he was 48. Was that “too soon”? We won’t know God’s plan until we meet in Heaven. Then we will see “who serves God and who does not serve him” (Malachi 3: 18). That is all that matters.
