Friday evening during my church life group, one of the women commented that she prayed for Trump when he had COVID because he is old. She also commented that Biden walks like an old man.
We all burst our laughing. Why?
She in older than they are. She is in her mid 80s. She goes to line dances, drives all over the state to watch her granddaughter play high school volleyball, and is very active. She is retired but still serving Jesus.
It reminds me of my grandfather when he would talk about driving the old people in the neighborhood to the grocery store who were in their 60s and 70s. My grandfather was 81 when he made that comment after having gotten a speeding ticket on the highway.
Sharing these two humorous stories introduces a point. We never retire from serving Jesus. God has worked through people at ages that people would normally associate with retirement and perhaps even nursing homes.
Consider Abraham and Sarah. They had Isaac when Sarah was in her 90s.
Consider the Apostle John. He was an old man who while on the prison island of Patmos was given the vision by God that led to writing the Book of Revelation.
God is never finished with us in this life. We may retire from jobs, but we never retire from living for and serving Jesus. Even when the time comes to leave this life and enter heaven, we will then live with Jesus forever.
Thank you for reading. God Bless.
Oh so trueee!!!!

Amen. Psalm 92:14, “Even in old age they will still produce fruit; they will remain vital and green.”
Thank you for this scripture.
Love that verse
💯% true…we are called to serve Him. I have never read a verse that said you only have to serve God until you retire.
We never retire just get promoted to heaven

Thank you from a woman whose been wondering if it’s time to retire and let the young people do God’s work. Got my answer.
Yep. He is never done using us. I admit I grapple with this issue often being in my 40’s but physically worn well beyond that. Yet, still He has this way of opening the doors to minister each in our ways. 😊
He has opened ways for me that I can do even with living with chronic illness
Totally agree. 😊
🤗
I love this and the mindset. I hope I will be like this when I’m 95!!
Hopefully Jesus will return before you are 95 🙂
Haha. Your grandpa must have been a funny person. 😂
I love the woman’s heart of service too. 🙂
He was 🤗
I always enjoy your stories. This is so true. We never retire from serving Jesus. ❤
Thank you ❤️
Praise God, He does not consider us too old for service. Age is just a number.
Amen little sister. We never retire, We just get promoted to heaven.
That is a great way of saying it.🙂
