A Senior Moment

Carol Soderquist forwarded this wonderful note to me a while back.
"I received these words in a letter from Ingafrid, a mentor in the faith in Sweden. She and her husband are getting 'up there' in years, and she was describing their limitations of eyesight, etc. She said, "...we ae goriwng old and incapacitated. That means that we have to hand back by and by the gifts and abilities we have had on loan for so many years. And we have to say, 'thank you for the time we've had them'." What a blessing to know someone like this in whom His Spirit has been working for so long."
In this time of our lives, may we cheerfully surrender these gifts, and
pray for our continuing stewardship of all that God has given.
