Ecc. 11, 12

My father is 96 and my mother is 92. Mom often says, “Old age is for the birds.” Their life revolves around essential things; how they feel, what they eat, who visits them … but mostly around THE LORD.

Yes, they lament that life is more difficult in old age, but really light up on certain subjects … good memories, old songs about the Lord, the well-being of their family, and sitting on the back deck on a nice day.

Solomon identified the frustration seniors have when he stated that they found no pleasure in old age. The fleeting joys of youth are gone. It’s time to find new pleasures.

The youthful should wisely discover what pleases their old-age friends and relatives and commence to make them happy. These will be seeds well sown.
