I am 76 years old, so I am officially a senior. I get price breaks in several places, and I no longer have to take my shoes off at the airport. Patty and I enjoy this chapter in our lives, especially with our family. The best part about getting older is that every day I am one day closer to heaven; it won’t be long now. I am part of a men’s group that meets on Tuesday morning, and everyone in the group is an old guy, so we start our meeting at 9:00 am instead of 6:00 am like those young guys do. I greatly enjoy my fellowship with these guys as we tell fishing stories and pray for each other’s ailments. I also periodically attend “Senior Friends” on Wednesday afternoons from 2:00 to 4:00 pm. This Friday, a “Seniors Concert” will be at the park in front of the Middle School and swimming pool at 6:00 pm. They will be playing and singing some “oldies.” I have attended the ones they have had in the past, and they are very good; everyone is welcome regardless of age. I believe God often gives older Christians who have lived a faithful life for Him an extra measure of grace as they finish their lives. That grace gives them a heightened sense of His presence, an increased thinking about spiritual truths, an increase in peace and joy, and an increase in spiritual growth. Maybe even with those who are struggling with senility and Alzheimer’s, they may have more going on in their soul than we are aware of. I end every day by saying, “Thank you, Lord, for my life, it has been a good one, and there is still more to come.”
