By My Side: Walking with Christ in our Wisdom Years

Register

Summary

At the wedding feast at Cana, Jesus changes water into wine. The wine he provides is superior to
what had been served earlier in the celebration. Jesus saved the best for last.

As we grow older, we often lament the wine of our youth. Our health, stamina, appearance, memory
and relationships morph over time. With those changes we may well feel loss and grief. So much of
our world seems to shrink.

The spiritual life, however, keeps growing. In our later years we can discover opportunities for ever
deepening encounter with God. Our inner landscape reveals vistas unseen in our earlier years. Our
inner eye recognizes patterns as we recollect, and our deepest heart awakens to new awareness of
the Divine. It is a season of renewed discovery that the Lord of all chooses to accompany us in the
later seasons of life.

During this day of shared reflection, we will explore ways spirituality can be fostered at this time of
life. Scripture, prayer, presentation, and silence will aid us on our journey. All you need to bring is an
open heart and a desire to continue growing in wisdom, age and grace. The God who made you
desires to share the spiritual riches of the later years. See how the Lord continues to walk with us
while saving the best for last.
