“I am too old to do anything for the kingdom of God, it is up to the younger generations to do it now.” Do older people have a role to play when they don't have the energy anymore.

Often we feel that we cannot change anything about the world we live in. Yet we all have relationships with other people and come across people in our day to day life. Could we be more intentional about how we approach the people in our lives? We look at Jesus' example to find answers.
God calls us to be still and know that He is God. Then what? What are we supposed to see and hear during our times of stillness?
Time for yourself. Stolen moments of rest. Feeling guilty because you rested or needed to rest?
Life makes it that we are always pushing, all based on the fear that we will miss out. What does God want for us in this world where getting ahead means you push.
I do a lot. Too much actually. My plate has always got more on it than I can cope with. I am always pushing, always tired. There is never time to slow down and rest.
