Attitude can make a difference as we age....

Staying Young All Your Life  

(The following ideas are from the In Touch Ministries Daily Devotional 1-23-2021)

I was sooooo excited to listen to Charles Stanley's daily devotional this week about our attitude making a difference in our aging process.  Gail and I don't feel old (we may look that way!) but we feel good, love our lives, and are anxious to be used by God.  The following are ideas from the devotional that were a great encouragement to me.

1.  Keep learning - 

• gaining knowledge of Scripture should be first on our list
• also read up on things that interest you, take on new projects, learn to use technology

2.  Keep laboring - keep walking with God

• look for opportunities to serve Him through the church or other ministries
• be available
• continue to serve others

3.  Pray 

• you may find you have a little more time on your hands now so use that time to pray for your spouse, family, church, town, state, and nation

Our lives are not our own.  They have been bought with a great price by Jesus.  May we keep surrendered to him and keep serving Him. 

If God has blessed you with many years, bless Him with your service.  They are many needs out there.  Find them and give of your time, talents, and energy.  God wants to use you all of your days, so be sure to stay young at heart as long as you can to be able to serve HIM!
