[Faith-talk] Serving the Lord as old age advances

[Sarah Blake LaRose]

John, stay excited! I am a member of a church whose population is largely 
over 65. Many are retired missionaries and still travel overseas, even after 
age 85! I joined the church specifically so that I could learn from them 
because I was so discouraged about losing a lot of my young life to chronic 
illness.

It's great to hear about so many older people who continue to serve the
Lord even as age advances. I've been looking for encouragement, because
i find it hard to get excited about anything. I put a similar message on
the nfb-seniors list but got no response.

Blessings,
John
