Gracious God, we give thanks for the rewards of growing older:
  • for the joy of grandparenting
  • for opportunities to travel
  • for a sense of self that’s more defined and better accepted
  • for free time and getting to choose what to do
  • for trying new things
  • for opportunities to read and learn​
  • for time to volunteer at church and other places
  • for flexibility and not having a schedule
  • for increased perspective
  • for an accumulation of richness from life
  • for getting to go outside for recess
  • for freedom and letting go of filters
  • for role models and people who inspire us
  • for soundtracks for our lives
  • for discounts and Social Security
  • for a new understanding of losing a life in order to find a life
 For all these rewards—and so many others—we give thanks. Amen.
