Too Old?

[LookingOut]

The culture of youth can make us feel useless and undesirable. I rejoice the God knows me and loves me and can use me no matter the state of my body. My trouble is not in deciding IF I should do anything but of all the things God enables me to do WHAT one do I pick?

Joni Eareckson Tada is a great inspiration. In a wheelchair for so many years, I heard her account of counseling a woman dying of ALS. She told the woman to hang on to life, even though fully paralyzed, because it meant so much for her family to be able to look into her eyes.

The leader of my prayer organization told a story of one of her mentors, elderly and pretty much chair bound. She told of her love for people and the Word. She would read her Bible and share with others and pray for others. God still has that job for her. We have to be pretty infirm to not be able to pray.

I'm just beginning the creaks and joint pain of older age, but pray God will use me to show His light and love and truth to others as long as I can.
