Does Getting Older Make You Feel Less Useful? — 9 Comments

  1. Good morning Sheryl! As far as my birthday and getting older.I have always been very thankful God gave me another year to serve him. Sheryl you know i dealt with seziures coming back in my life in high school. Then I had a major one in college but,with God’s help Igot my jr college degree. Later on in two thousand and nine.They placed a VNS in me. Everything went well until they took me off my second medication. Then migraines because chronic in my life but,through the three years bedridden. God never left my side.I finally got under the care of a headache specialist. Which meant we had to travel out of Alabama to Mississippi to see him. Finally my husband saw how hard the trips were on me and, so he transferred to a Wal-Mart the city he was practicing in.it wasn’t until covid hit and ,I had to stop a major infussion and,trust in God that daily medication and a once a month shot would control my migraines. Thank be to God I am migraine free.Through it all God has shown me how I can encourage others. My husband teases me on my birthday every year by reveversing the numbers and,when he did it this year. I told him I am proud to be 65 years old and, I am very thankful he has brought me this far and,even though times are challenging God is growing me more in my daily walk with him. I am a work in progress but,still growing closer to God in my walk as I get a day older.I am thankful that through His grace and mercy I am made new each and every day.

      • You are very welcome and,thank you for sharing your devotional and making us think about how God is working in our lives daily.

  2. Yes, He is our life. When we realize that no matter how old we are or how sick we may be, God always has a purpose for our days! Even though we may be slower than we used to be, as we continue to grow in Him, we can help others with the Godly wisdom and knowledge God gives us to share! Mentoring those younger Christians to be the best they can be for Him, especially those with families of their own to raise in a Christ like manner! Thanks Sheryl!✝️

    • Yes!! I especially love what you said about mentoring the younger Christians, Kim. What a lovely way to glorify God as we grow older physically – and (especially) spiritually.

  3. My wife and I live in an active retirement community where a majority of people have very white hair. I say they are blessed because God has allowed them to live that long! Thank you, Sheryl, for reminding us that our Lord and God is our life and has a purpose for all of us always.
