Comedian Mike Jones uses his gift of humor to show us how getting out of bed becomes a different experience as we age.
We can all relate to how our bodies change as we get older. God designed this natural process of aging as part of our journey. Simple tasks that we once did without thinking now need extra time and care. But in His wisdom, God uses these changes to teach us valuable lessons about life.
You might remember those days when jumping out of bed took no effort at all. Jones takes us back to those memories with perfect timing. “When you was young, you could wake up late, get out of bed. Boom,” he tells us, making everyone smile with recognition.
He continues with a scene we all know well: “Yeah, you remember when you were 20. You could wake up late for work, jump in your clothes. Got to go. Wee! Out the door.”
But then Jones turns to what happens when we reach our fifties, and this is where his observations ring true for so many of us. The simple act of getting up transforms into what he calls getting out of bed “in sections.” Anyone over fifty probably nodded along as he described this morning ritual.
Jones breaks down this new morning routine with details that make us laugh because they feel so familiar. First comes the waiting game: “You got to sit in the bed for 30 seconds and let the blood circulate down.”
Then comes step two: “Then you turn and put your feet on the floor another 30 seconds to let it go flow down to your knees and ankles.”
The grand finale requires careful planning – you need to position your hip just right to create enough momentum to move forward.
What makes Jones’ comedy shine is how he turns these everyday challenges into moments we can share and laugh about together.
Aging is a fact we all must embrace with full hearts. As the Bible says, ‘The silver-haired head is a crown of glory.’
