I am not too Old

Mar 11, 2025    Gordon E. Freese

Many of us believe that because we are old, we cannot do anything useful. How misguided is this attitude? Old and unable to do some things? Certainly. But useless? NO! One of the strongest weapons we seniors have is PRAYER. We can certainly be strong and energetic prayer warriors. We can pray for family, friends, pastors, and strangers. We can also talk to others about how God’s hand sustains us in our trials and tribulations. When my 93-year-old mother-in-law was dying, she continually prayed for the needs of her family, the staff, and other residents in her care facility. One of the hospice caregivers told my wife that after just fifteen minutes of talking with my mother-in-law, she convinced him that

he needed to be back in church and in God’s word! Old, yes.

Useless? NEVER!
