REFLECTIONS ON FAITH: INSPIRED BY SENIORS - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

If we seek God, we will see Him revealed in the people and events in our lives. Including seniors. Funerals, baldness, a check-up, love letters, a walking frame …can each help us to reflect on faith. That is the purpose of this book. As you read these reflections, it is likely they will conjure familiar images for you. I hope they will also help you to meditate on God and your relationship with Him. Each of the sixty brief reflections is inspired by everyday experiences and emotions. This is not a book to be read from cover to cover. It is designed to be dipped into, sequentially or not, with favourite passages revisited from time to time. Perhaps it will inspire you to add your own reflections on the theme. This is a book for seniors and about seniors. It can be enjoyed by anyone from aged 13 to 103, anyone who has experienced or watched the process of ageing. Sample:OCCASIONAL VISITSI miss my grand-kids, Father.It’s no-one’s fault.We live some way apart, and we struggle to get there,and they struggle to get here.Our lives are busy.There are other things drag on our time.But I want to see how they are growing,To hear of their new achievements,To know the things that interest them,To understand their evolving character,To enjoy their vibrant energy,And to share the things that delight them.Do you feel that way about me, Father,When I don’t keep in touch,When there’s a gap between my visitsWith you?Turn to the Lord and pray to him, now that he is near. (Isaiah 55: 6, GNT)
