God and the Hoary Head - Gary King - June 1984

Gary King

God's approach to old age is surprising! Here's how older Christians can lead more productive and rewarding lives. Every day I pray that I will die!" The speaker was an elderly woman confined to a wheelchair. Life in an "old-folks home" had become unbearable for her. She was lonely, bored and in poor health. Her old friends were dying one by one. Her family didn't visit anymore. She had no reason to go on living. Or did she? Is it God's desire that older people waste away their final years of human life staring blankly at television screens? Are people of no value once they reach 65 or 55 or 45, or whatever age society sets as the age after which people are considered to be washed up? The answers, if more widely known, would bring comfort and hope to millions of senior citizens! - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
