Our Source of Hope

So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day.2 Corinthians 4:16As a senior, I find that my schedule consists of routine doctor appointments and unplanned visits to hospital emergency rooms. In my spare time, I go to the pharmacy and my fitness center. This is not the retirement that I had in mind. Traveling to London, England, to visit friends was previously a goal of mine.Today, I live in a city to be close to an excellent healthcare system. I had dreamed of a lakeside home near a small town. There, I had intended to pursue fishing, swimming, and boating.Although my life has changed, I do not despair. Instead, I am grateful to be alive. Just as Jesus relied on His Father for help, I trust in God. He is my Creator and the source of my hope.Prayer: Dear Lord, thank You for being with me at this stage of my journey to eternal life. Amen.Reflect: How is God calling you to grow spiritually at this stage of your life?
