I don’t carry anything heavy anymore. So, when our new pastor, his wife and family moved here, mostly the younger people carried boxes, beds and dressers. I made sandwiches. I can do that easily and with joy. 

Accepting change is very important. Whatever stage of life we are in, we do not have to feel useless. We are still part of the team. Only what we do is changed. 

Though they are usually stronger and more active, younger people coming along after us need encouragement. We can pass on words of hope and share our experience of the goodness of the Lord, helping them to have the courage to follow God on the path of faith. And, most important of all, we can pray.
