Proverbs 16:31 "Â Gray hair is a crown of splendor; it is attained in the way of righteousness."
On my way to work today , I had the chance to sit with an old woman who's probably in her early 70's. I was able to sit first in the motorella before her so when the driver stopped and picked her up on the road I've got the chance to see her move very slowly ,  holding a stick as her only hold  and strength. She's very fragile and weak that I could not help my self  help her hold the bag she's carrying and let her sit in the seat at my opposite.  The driver asked her where she's heading to and she said  " the nearest DBP" , it's a bank.Â
One of the passengers who also helped her into the vehicle earlier said, " wala tana ka naglakaw ikaw ra isa la!". By his statement , I'm not sure if the passenger was worried about her going to the bank alone because of her condition or he's annoyed by the fact that he needed to get out of the small vehicle and help an old woman who look like a little bit stronger than a patient in a health care foundation. And she exclaimed, " dili mulakaw? nga wala na koy kwarta!" Â
My admiration to her strength walking alone by herself turned into something that I don't like. But I have no time to judge her neither the other passenger because at that moment there were so many things that run through my head.Â
 I don't know where she's coming from that situation but there's a big chunk  of me that admired her alot and all the old people out there who walk through life alone and trusting their gutts that they can make it alone in this fast paced world. I know that this people care for their family, loved and was able to stand up from the waves of time . These people who's legs are weak and still able to get up and  rise up by themselves. My prayer goes for you.  Someday, if I will find favor in God's eyes to extend my years here on earth I will be able to say that I can make it too.Â
