Just recently, I learnt this super important lesson: Old age is, in fact, a gift and a blessing from God, not something to dread.
We're surrounded by messages that tell us somehow, your latter years will be a time of boredom and feelings of unfullfilment, having only memories of 'the good ol' glory days' to keep you feeling alive, when in fact it's the most ideal time in your life for just you and God.
It's a time when you are likely to have retired, your children will most likely have left home, and you generally have a lot less on your plate - THE PERFECT TIME TO FOCUS ALL YOUR ATTENTION ON GOD.
It's a great opportunity to spend more time with Him, grow closer together, offer up more of your time (and energy) to other people, study the Bible deeper, and prepare for the next phase - Heaven.
Somehow, I find that very exciting.
Old age is something to look forward to!
