Book Description
Like it or not, senior moments happen. We might as well laugh about them and thank God for the way they add interest to our lives. After all, what would life be without the cordless phone ringing faintly from where you left it in the fridge? Some senior moments are more heartbreaking or embarrassing than funny. But in every case, we can take them to the Lord who cares for us. This book brings encouragement to people in their golden years. Each of the 90 short pieces contains a note to God about a topic of special interest to seniors, a word from God in Scripture, a prayer and a place for the reader to write his or her note to God.
