Lord, teach me to grow old with greater joy every day.
Protect me from aging with bitterness and remorse.

Help me to learn even more the joy of being last.

Lord, teach me to grow old and listen more carefully.
Let me learn how to hear the hopes, hurts, and dreams of others.

And in my slower pace, show me how to help and give to those in pain and need.

life.

“I have not lived my life in vain.”
“I have not lived my life in vain.”
Even when I am old and gray God, do not abandon me. Then I will
proclaim Your power to another generation, Your strength to all who are to
come. (Psalm 71:18, HCSB) From the blog of Thom Ranier
