As you read this chapter, Jacob speaks about God to the very last moment. He blesses his sons. He desires to be buried with the great people of God.
Under my observance, being in many nursing homes and around the elderly, it is far from the same. You hear murmering and complaining. The things they say, sometimes hateful are expressions of their hypocracy. They speak religiously but have a ungodly talk and life to follow. They no longer have the strength to pretend they are christians. What is in the heart manifests. We keep them in our prayers and love them anyway. May we all get the thing in our hearts and live it so we will be a testimony to our children of what we believe and really are. We can still be fruitful in old age and Jesus joy will overcome all self pity. He promises our leaves will never wither Psalm 1: 2Tim. 1:7 promises we shall have a sound mind always. We can have faith if we don't doubt God's word.
