I was just reading yesterday of Joshua being "old and advanced in years," yet tasked with allocating territory among the different tribes, and Caleb finally taking his inheritance at 85. It's comforting that God can still use us at any age.
I think I would like that part of the Levites' job, too! But they probably had to struggle with keeping their heart in it and not just going through the motions, like we do singing on Sunday mornings.
That's exactly what Aging With Grace has encouraged me with, Barbara —> "...comforting that God can still use us at any age."
I hate that feeling of "going through the motions" on Sundays! :-/
Also, I would be interested in going through that book on aging together. I'm reading another of Sharon's books now, The Treasuries of Encouragement.
The Treasuries of Encouragement sounds like a book I need to read!
Love this series and today's post was fabulous. I may be biased, but at 63 years of age, anything about aging with grace is welcomed by me. I have always loved the story of Caleb taking his inheritance at the ripe young age of 85! Perhaps it inspired me to obey God's calling on my life to start my serenity in suffering ministry at the age of 61!
Ahhhh.... yea, Amber! I'm so glad to meet someone else who has benefited from Aging With Grace! And I agree, it's a neglected topic. We really don't like to think, let alone talk, about aging as women.
Thank you for this encouragement today. My desire is to age gracefully in spirit so others will see Jesus in me. I appreciate the book suggestion!
You're so very welcome, Joanne!! Your desire to age gracefully in spirit, reflecting the presence of Jesus, is truly admirable. I'm glad the book suggestion resonates with you. May your path be filled with grace, wisdom, and the radiant light of Jesus.
My sweet PawPaw - at 93 - is tired and ready to go home to heaven. But we keep telling him that God wouldn't keep him here if there wasn't still work He wanted him to do!
It's evident that your love and care for your sweet PawPaw shine through your words, Lauren. Assuring him that God has a purpose for him and that there's still work to be done is a beautiful way to provide comfort and encouragement. Sending heartfelt wishes of peace and comfort to your PawPaw and your family during this time.
Oh, I just looked at reading the Bible along with the "Sweeter Than Honey" devotional and that feels like just what I want and need. Others above are talking about "Aging with Grace." I am almost finished with that one and so love it. It brings me such peace while working through it. I originally began doing it together with a dear sister in Christ via Zoom but she has had to pause due to many roadblocks of life. But I have continued because it is so good! May God rain His blessings upon you, Patsy, as you share Him with all of us.
I'm touched by your kind words and grateful to read that you're finding solace and peace in your reading and devotionals, especially "Aging with Grace." It's wonderful that even in the absence of your dear sister's physical presence, you're continuing the journey and finding meaning and connection through the material.
May God's blessings continue to abound in your reading, reflection, and the shared moments with others. Wishing you continued inspiration and growth on your spiritual journey!
And thanks so much for your kind words about Sweeter Than Honey. I know you'll love it!! :)
Those who have impacted and mentored me as spiritual parents were men and women in their 70s and 80s - my mission statement is showing my children and their children how to grow old loving the Lord - I think Sweeter than Honey sounds like a book to encourage that mission statement's growth!
What a beautiful and inspiring mission statement, Maryleigh!! It's evident that the impact of those spiritual parents has deeply influenced your own journey and shaped your desire to pass on the legacy of growing old loving the Lord. "Sweeter Than Honey" indeed sounds like a wonderful companion on that journey, offering insights and encouragement. May your mission statement continue to blossom and bear fruit in the lives of those around you.
