‘Gray hair is a crown of glory; it is gained in a righteous life.’
(Proverbs 16:31)
The church I am attending has some social outreach programs. One of these is visit an aged home once a month. Recently members are asked to donate some food items to these old folks with Christmas coming soon. There are a dozen food items listed and I am surprised by the ‘high priority’ items listed. Some of us probably labeled them as ‘unhealthy’ foodstuffs: canned braised peanuts, kernel corn, instant noodles and vegetarian Lor Hon Zai.
I guess when one gets old, his food preference changes . Foodstuffs that were previously frown upon now become his preference choices. This was what happened to my mum. Before that, she used to reprimand her children whenever they ate sweet things. However, when she herself grew old, she loved ‘kit-kat’ chocolate waffles and candies. We let her ate what she wanted as it is better to let her enjoy her remaining years.
