The senior center may be closing in June. I was surprised how quickly Angie dismissed the elders. Made my soul saddened. Her instant reply was I don't want to make any commitments to the seniors. We don't know where we will be in 6 months.
What happened to the faith?
Where is the compassion?
Where is the trust in the Lord?
Why so dismissive?

Really, I never thought Lord about the church hosting the senior center. Now as I reflect on all the things have placed on my heart, concerning the elderly, the widows. Their needs, the passion that you have placed in my soul for them. Is this passion a temporary thing? Does it have to do with  me and dads & Moms needs? Is there more that you are calling me to do? Oh Father in heaven, give me wisdom and understanding on where you are leading me. Let your will be done in my life.

[ Shepherd the Flock ] The elders who are among you I exhort, I who am a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that will be revealed:

[ Submit to God, Resist the Devil ] Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for “God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble.”
