Isaiah 46:4

Even to your old age and gray hairs I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you,”

Life is all about gains and losses. 

Entering our senior years ignites so many new joys, but also extinguishes joys of health and independence. 

Good and bad is a reality present at all stages of life. 

There are always things to eagerly look forward to and things to look back upon with mixed emotions. 

The elderly know this better than anyone. 

But the acknowledgment and promises of God are comforting that he is our sustenance, our bridge, and our salvation, (sustain, carry, rescue) despite our accruing frailties. 

Passing into our final season of life gives us more time for travels, loved ones, giving back, and eagerly awaiting the new bodies we are promised. 

Let’s enjoy our old age, our gray hair, and all the blessings of being alive.
