There are benefits of getting older that only other older people will understand. I no longer get excited by drama or by pending disasters. I no longer get stirred up by things that I see or hear, even in church. I no longer find myself striving to get married. I no longer find myself striving to get sent out. I am content where I am and who I am with what I have.
I have heard enough sermons to judge the good ones from the not so good ones. I have Bible study tools to find out about things in the bible or that I heard in a sermon to see what it really says. I pray enough. I have my daily devotions and I read God's word daily. I go to church more than I need to.
Marriage is a fundamental human relationship. I think everyone needs to get married. Except me. I was married. I stayed married. Death did us part and I am not looking to get joined to a new wife. I support marriage and all that it stands for. But not for me.
I support our vision for evangelism, discipleship, and church planting. I give towards it. I pray for workers. That is all I can and will do about that. Old men dream dreams. Young men see visions.
There really is a benefit to growing older (if you do not act like you are still young).
