I have cared for you since you were born. Yes, I carried you before you were born. I will be your God throughout your lifetime—until your hair is white with age. I made you, and I will care for you. I will carry you along and save you.” ([Isaiah 46:3-4]( NLT) When my daughter was born with Down syndrome over thirty years ago, most of the literature I initially received painted a depressing picture of her future. The basics we take for granted seemed to be in question—good health, speech, cognition, walking, and even more. All would be delayed . . . or maybe would never develop.

Recently, Julia spent some time in the hospital and needed to go through physical therapy. After her last therapy session, she was feeling good. Actually, she was feeling amazing. That’s when she decided to show off her mobility by busting out her classic jitterbug moves. That’s when the folks at Golden Age Home Health Care took out their cameras and started to film the incredible moment. On their Facebook page, Golden Age described the impromptu dance session. Miss Julia is a long time resident, who recently returned from a hospital stay and is graduating from therapy services with Golden Age. She’s ditched the walker for her dancing shoes, and this morning she said, “You’ve got me feeling so good, I want to dance!” And she sure does know how to move! At the age of 91, Julia still has all the energy and moves to pull off an incredible jitterbug. In fact, the video has already garnered hundreds of thousands of views and the number continues to grow. But when she was asked by Good Morning America about the secret to keeping her mind and body young, Julia has some incredible words. "Music is what makes the world go round. You can be depressed, you can be sick, but you can always turn on some music and forget it." What a perfect reminder that age is nothing but a number.  [WATCH NOW →](        [10 Beautiful Biblical Descriptions of What Heaven Will Look Like and Be Like](  Jennifer Waddle Although we cannot even begin to comprehend Heaven's splendor, the Bible gives us beautiful descriptions of the place in which those who have received Jesus will spend eternity.
