Synopsis

Like it or not, senior moments happen. We might as well laugh about them and thank God for the way they add interest to our lives. After all, what would life be without the cordless phone ringing faintly from where you left it in the fridge? Some senior moments are more heartbreaking or embarrassing than funny. But in every case, we can take them to the Lord who cares for us. This book brings encouragement to people in their golden years. Each of the 90 short pieces contains a note to God about a topic of special interest to seniors, a word from God in Scripture, a prayer and a place for the reader to write his or her note to God.

About this title

From the Publisher

While growing older certainly has plusses, its downside poses big challenges. Physical decline, loss of spouses, relatives, and friends, memory lapses, feelings of inadequacy or uselessness--such things give us those "senior moments" that sidetrack us with fear and worry. This book brings encouragement to people in their golden years, prompting them to reflect, laugh, play, and to take both burdens and joys to the Lord who cares for them. Each of the 90 short pieces contains a note to God about a topic of special interest to seniors, a word from God in Scripture, a prayer, and a place for the reader to write her or his note to God.

From the Back Cover

Growing old isn't for sissies!

Funny moments, poignant moments, moments we'd rather forget. Like it or not, senior moments happen. We might as well laugh about them and thank God for the way they add interest to our lives. After all, what would life be without the phone ringing faintly from where you left it in the fridge?

Some senior moments are more heartbreaking or embarrassing than funny. But in every case, we can take them to the Lord who cares for us. Each of the ninety-plus short pieces in this encouraging book contain a note to God about a topic of special interest to those of us who still can't believe we qualify for a senior discount. You'll also find encouragement from Scripture and prayers as you read through this book.

So get ready to smile, laugh, and maybe even sigh and shed a tear as you recognize the unique frustrations and joys that come with getting older.
