Forever Young

 





Who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, 5 who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s. Psalm 103:4-5


What is the infatuation with youth?
Marketing experts try to look for the perfect models to sell their products. Most often life is depicted as a fun haven for those 50 and under. Older people matter too and are often overlooked by young hot shots who at times don’t want to ‘trouble the old man’. 

With age comes wisdom. You may stereotype ‘seniors’ as slow and old and that is truly not fair. The brain is still working and more times than not many of them feel devalued or useless after they retire. There is nothing in God’s word about joining a club for mature adults and kicking back with pickle ball till you are called home. 

If you are ‘mature’ go back to work if you want to. Younger managers hire those older citizens as they have life experiences that are quite invaluable. Find volunteer work where your skills can make a difference. Try a new hobby or take a class. Hey write a book. 🤔If you are blessed to be welcome in your grandchildren’s lives make an impact there. Go and rest and know God is not finished with you yet. 

PRAYER: I thank you for people young and old. Every life matters to you even those society would cast off. Help me to be brave to try new things and live life with gusto. Use me to impact someone. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
