“Whatever your hand finds to do, do with your might…” – Ecclesiastes 9:10
.... but the greatest of these is love. – 1 Corinthians 13:13

Aging Spiritually is an exploration of how we relate to God in our lives as we grow older. Each weekly reflection will be based on one of six spiritual themes of aging:

To be a child of God, is to allow the essence of God, that God-like divine DNA in each person, to transform everything you think, say, or do. Be merciful as God is merciful, because you are God’s beloved child, with God’s divine DNA. Be holy as God is holy, because God’s love is who you are.

“Integrity” comes from the same Latin root as “integrated” and “integer.” In his best-selling book, The Speed of Trust, Stephen M.R. Covey writes, “A person has integrity when there is no gap between intent and behavior... when he or she is whole, seamless, and the same both inside and out.”

As we cling to cliches and commercial platitudes like lifeboats in a sea of fear, there's a message to fall back on. There is joy to be found--even in the mundane, even in sorrow, even in uncertainty. May you tap into that rich, deep, real joy today.

”Those who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength, They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary,” They shall walk and not faint. -Isaiah 40:31 (NRSV)
