Mitch Albom Quote

Then Adam boldly said, ‘Lord, what if I am willing to bestow on that soul some of the years of my life?’ And God answered Adam, saying, ‘If that is your wish, that I will grant.’ Adam, we are told, died not at 1,000, but at 930 years. And eons later, there was a child born in the town of Bethlehem. He became a ruler over Israel and a sweet singer of songs. After leading his people and inspiring them, he died. And the Bible concludes: ‘Behold, David the King was buried after having lived for 70 years.
