Those of us that were born in the 40's, 50's, and 60's have or are now looking towards the years of new beginnings. You are reaching back into your past and bring out those dreams of yours that have been complacent. The gifts and ideas that have always lingered in the back of your mind waiting for you to birth them.
We must take personal courage and step out in faith because our age group has a wealthy of wisdom and knowledge to share. We often become fearful of being isolated, or being laughed at, ridiculed or rejected by family or our own peers. But I believe that we must get involved with some meaningful activity outside one's own normal routine of living. We must challenge ourselves to stay mentally and spiritually healthy by any means necessary. God is not through with us yet, he still has assignment for each of us to do in the earth.
As a whole seniors adults are a gracious and giving group of people. They love to serve others, expecting little or nothing in return. There joy comes from giving of their selves.
In the last days, God says, I will pour out my spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.
Isaiah 40:29-31
Jeremiah 29:11
This is a reminder to not forget your elderly neighbors in your church and community.
