Good Morning, God,
The headlines are about a 90 year-old gentleman who was honored for his work as being the oldest volunteer fireman in Indiana. Turns out, he had started the VFD in Centenary in Vermillion County in 1948. Throughout these intervening years, he has stayed with the department, and although not actively going out on fire runs, still attends meetings, votes, and participates toward the betterment of the department, which qualifies him to still be a volunteer firefighter.
Lord, how many of us could still be doing something as useful as this into our 70's, 80's, even 90's? Why, just recently, other headlines spoke of a 105 year-old woman who still lights up the world around her with her smile! All of us can do this, Lord, no matter the age and stage of life in which we are found!
So, God, bless our efforts, not at being "young," but at making the most of everyday you have given us to age wonderfully!
In Jesus' name, Amen.
