Hi Dears,Praise The Lord....... Old is Gold! Reading: Psalm 21 Even youth grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall;but those who wait on the Lord will renew their strength.They will soar on wings like eagles (Isa 40:30,31) Todays meditation is mainly for the beloved senior citizens.Its good to go jogging for improving blood circulation and increasing muscle strength. But the daily exercise of sitting before the Lord with an open Bible and an open mind, as the above Scripture passage promises, will renew our strength and restore spiritual energy to our inner man.

Complications set in which, added to her thirtysix years of unbroken service in India, left her an invalid for the rest of her life. Yet from her bed — often lying completely flat — she continued her ministry of rescuing temple girls in Dohnavur, South India. She kept in touch with the outside world through her correspondence and, with help, wrote thousands of letters. Already the author of many books, she wrote a further thirteen books during this period, as well as revising her other titles and producing more poetry.Listen to music and message tapes. These days we have the entire New Testament or the Bible in audiotapes. Hearing is sometimes less strenuous than reading in old age. A Jewish proverb says, For the ignorant, old age is as winter; for the learned, it is a harvest!With my mouth will I make known Thy faithfulness...Thy faithfulness to all generations!
