11.15- Fruitful, successful, fulfilling life and long life

 11.15-

Fruitful, successful, fulfilling life and long life. Both are important. Humans were designed to be workers. Certain Blue Zones around the world have been studied where it is common for people to live to be 90 to 100 years old.
These elements were noticed.
1.Active natural physical moment for daily life. Active not passive.
2. Eat wisely.
3. Clear sense of purpose for why you live.
4. Connected. Surrounded by people who support healthy behavior. People you enjoy and enjoy you.
5. Loving the local place and people where you live.
6. Sense of purpose. Passions. Talents. Values.
7. Work. Find a way to be useful.
8. Belong. Be in a group who helps you put others before yourself.
Many of my friends are helping me with these very goals. So thankful for all of you.

Psalm 90Lord, You have been our [b]dwelling place in all generations.

Before the mountains were born
[c]Or You gave birth to the earth and the world,
Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God.

You turn mortals back into dust
And say, “Return, you sons of mankind.”
For a thousand years in Your sight
Are like yesterday when it passes by,
[d]Or like a watch in the night.
You have [e]swept them away like a flood, they [f]fall asleep;
In the morning they are like grass that [g]sprouts anew.
In the morning it flourishes and [h]sprouts anew;
Toward evening it wilts and withers away.

For we have been consumed by Your anger,
And we have been terrified by Your wrath.
You have placed our guilty deeds before You,
Our hidden sins in the light of Your presence.
For all our days have dwindled away in Your fury;
We have finished our years like a [i]sigh.
10 As for the days of our [j]life, [k]they contain seventy years,
Or if due to strength, eighty years,
Yet their pride is only trouble and tragedy;
For it quickly passes, and we disappear.
11 Who [l]understands the power of Your anger
And Your fury, according to the fear [m]that is due You?
12 So teach us to number our days,
That we may [n]present to You a heart of wisdom.

13 Do return, Lord; how long will it be?
And [o]be sorry for Your servants.
14 Satisfy us in the morning with Your graciousness,
That we may sing for joy and rejoice all our days.
15 Make us glad [p]according to the days You have afflicted us,
And the years we have seen [q]evil.
16 Let Your work appear to Your servants
And Your majesty [r]to their children.
17 May the kindness of the Lord our God be upon us;
And [s]confirm for us the work of our hands;
Yes, [t]confirm the work of our hands.
