• Ecclesiastes 12:1-8
  Remember now your Creator in the days of your youth,
  Before the difficult days come,
  And the years draw near when you say,
  "I have no pleasure in them":
  While the sun and the light,
  The moon and the stars,
  Are not darkened,
  And the clouds do not return after the rain;
  In the day when the keepers of the house tremble,
  And the strong men bow down;
  When the grinders cease because they are few,
  And those that look through the windows grow dim;
  When the doors are shut in the streets,
  And the sound of grinding is low;
  When one rises up at the sound of a bird,
  And all the daughters of music are brought low.
  Also they are afraid of height,
  And of terrors in the way;
  When the almond tree blossoms,
  The grasshopper is a burden,
  And desire fails.
  For man goes to his eternal home,
  And the mourners go about the streets.
  Remember your Creator before the silver cord is loosed,
  Or the golden bowl is broken,
  Or the pitcher shattered at the fountain,
  Or the wheel broken at the well.
  Then the dust will return to the earth as it was,
  And the spirit will return to God who gave it.
  "Vanity of vanities," says the Preacher,
  "All is vanity."
   
• Psalm 90:10
  The days of our lives are seventy years;
  And if by reason of strength they are eighty years,
  Yet their boast is only labor and sorrow;
  For it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
  
   
• Proverbs 16:31
  The silver-haired head is a crown of glory,
  If it is found in the way of righteousness.
  
   
• Proverbs 20:29
  The glory of young men is their strength,
  And the splendor of old men is their gray head.
  
   
• Psalm 90:12
  So teach us to number our days,
  That we may gain a heart of wisdom.
   
• Ecclesiastes 11:8
  But if a man lives many years
  And rejoices in them all,
  Yet let him remember the days of darkness,
  For they will be many.
  All that is coming is vanity.
   
• Titus 2:1-5
  But as for you, speak the things which are proper for sound doctrine: that the older men be sober, reverent, temperate, sound in faith, in love, in patience; the older women likewise, that they be reverent in behavior, not slanderers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things— that they admonish the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be discreet, chaste, homemakers, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be blasphemed.

• Romans 8:20-23
  For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope; because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now. Not only that, but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body.
