Sometimes I don’t feel like I deserve to be thankful for what I have.
All of us to some degree deal with guilt in our lives. This is because we’re born into a sinful world and we do sinful things.

Now that our kids and grandkids are grown, my husband and I are having a hard time reconnecting. Is this normal?
Yes, it is. Many older couples find this to be the case. One thing Virginia and I have done for many, many years is to have a weekly date night. It doesn’t have to be anything fancy, but you’d be amazed how enjoying a quiet night out, a walk along the beach, or a stroll […]
I’m very ill and the doctors don’t think I’m going to get better. What kind of hope can I have for a better tomorrow?
This is a very common question I hear from seniors today.
What’s the best way you have been encouraged by others in your life?
We’ve been so encouraged by the appreciation that’s shown to us by those who’ve been impacted by our ministry. We always love receiving emails and letters from seniors just to say thanks for our devotionals and web tools. It’s so great to see people realize it’s never too late to begin getting into God’s Word!
