This devotional for seniors gives assurance, inspiration, and hope as we hold on to God’s promises going home.
Beverly Beeghly Avers, an ordained elder of the West Ohio Conference of the United Methodist Church and former pastor, teams up with numerous contributors to highlight the challenges of facing each day and serving God.
Much of the content is serious, but the author and contributors aren’t afraid to lighten things up. One passage reads, “Jesus said we must become like children to enter the kingdom of God. Well, I qualify, for I now wear Depends, take gummy supplements for calcium, use a walker or cane, and need help from family with items I can’t reach, forms I don’t understand, and cans and jars that are impossible for me to open.”
While geared for seniors, the devotional can be used by family and friends to engage in meaningful conversations about how to live life before going home to be with our Lord.
Many of the devotionals include hymns to recite or sing even as their memory decreases.
You’ll be inspired to grow in faith as you get UP from bed, with our Lord’s help, to serve the Lord no matter what your circumstances with this devotional steeped in Scripture.
