What is my purpose when I am old?
This has been questioned as long as people have entered old age. In my ministry the elderly have consistently complained “I can’t do the things I once did.” I know firsthand what they meant. The other day I went to wash the car windshield. Easy? Hardly. I was exhausted and didn’t do a very good job. The first thing is to accept what getting old means. You have been blessed a lifetime and there is yet purpose.
Is your spouse still living? If so, tell them every day you love them. If not you can still talk to them and tell them how you have loved them and still do. Do you have grandchildren? Rejoice and tell them again and again how special they are. Do you have son or daughter who makes sure you are o.k.? Thank them, love them, and know how blessed you are. Your purpose is to multiply, to love your family, and thank God for them.
What was one purpose, no longer is. Your purpose is to live. And if you are single consider the special people who have been and still are so very important to you. To care about them is a purpose. Write to them, call them, and be a special friend.
Read and write, putting your thoughts and feelings on paper. You never know who will read it and be inspired. That is a huge purpose.
