For many the first quarter of one's life is about growing--physically, intellectually, spiritually. The second and third quarters (half of one's life) are about family, friends, coworkers, etc., and applying the lessons of the first, second and third quarters. The fourth quarter for many is about retirement and facing the reality of growing old and dying. As we grow old many of us experience aches and pains, physical and mental limitations, doctors, and, all of us, death. "But of that day and hour no one knows, neither the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone." Matthew 24:36 Our Father in heaven is the physician that we can trust. https://www.flickr.com/photos/fatherjeromesanderson/4660638288 attribution: FR. JEROME SANDERSON and flickr
