Old is a controversial concept. You may be depositing social security checks or contemplating a second career. You could be a parent, grandparent, or a middlescent saving for retirement.

Bible Promise for Today: God’s Grace
Do you ever feel like you’ve hit an immoveable wall? Like change will never come? God’s grace covers every limitation. Just when we think we’ve had enough, God appears on the scene–but not with condemnation, silence, or sarcasm. Instead, He’s there holding out strong arms to encourage us.

Could it bloom again? Would it form soft, lilac petals again on its tired, worn stems?
