A Worthy Practice

Patience may be one of the most difficult things to practice as we get older.  Our energy level is vastly diminished as we age.  We are more aware of the aches and pains in our body and our conversations begin to be dominated by doctor’s and hospital visits.  

We love children, admire their energy, but they exhaust us.  Our experience has taught us how foolish some of our arguments were when we were young, so that we naturally become dismissive of young people’s concerns.  If we do not resist these temptations, the ministry God has extended for us in our declining years will be greatly diminished.   


Let’s determine not to allow Satan to destroy the ministry of the elder to the younger.  Let’s practice patients.
