Aging Gratefully

Aging. Grateful. Those are two words you don't usually see in a sentence together. Culture tells us that aging involves wrinkles, extra pounds, arthritis, and graying hair. And its answer to aging's many problems? Fight back! And we do, wearing ourselves out physically, emotionally, and spiritually in the process. But the Bible speaks about aging differently--that each year is a gift from God. Aging Gratefully offers humorous encouragement and sincere hope for this stage of life. In 30 devotional readings, Heather Creekmore points you each day to something you have to be thankful for in your current season. She guides you in prayer, giving words to your practice of gratitude, and then gets you moving to put your thanksgiving into action. With chapter titles like "Zippers, Snaps, and Other Annoyances" and "Why Did I Pick Up My Phone?," you'll find reasons to laugh out loud, reminders to live abundantly, and a solid rationale for why aging and grateful really do belong together.
