Seasons of Life
Despairing about your failing capacity for work?
Remember the years when you couldn’t grow up fast enough?
The young are not satisfied with youth, the aged are not satisfied with aging.
The common denominator is wanting to be other than you are.
Contemplate the gifts that are in you and with you in whatever season of life you are.
An elder may pause with impunity and have time and opportunity
to pray, to read, to see the stars, to enjoy children without all the work.
That’s a great GIFT from God who has wonderfully made us.
I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Wonderful are your works; that I know very well.
Your eyes beheld my unformed substance.
In your book were written all the days that were formed for me,
when none of them as yet existed.
Psalm 139: 13, 16
In the season of her energy and strength,
a mother in Myanmar has attended a micro saving group
and then managed to build a house for herself.
She now runs a catering business at home, thankful to Mothers Union for the program.
Let us thank God for the attention Mothers Union
pays to people’s needs no matter what season of life they are in.
