The Church of Nursing Homes and Assisted Living

Haven't anyone notice that when you go to church (assuming you are), the predominant congregation are in the geriatric age group? You could hear walkers screeching on the aisle. Grey hairs surrounding the pews like pompoms. Stooping postures lining up for communion.

It's a sad reality, but unfortunately, many of the young and able treat God only as a vending machine. He is only needed when one is hungry and thirsty physically or emotionally or financially.

Don't wait until you are old or sick or disabled, dying or poor then that's the moment you spend more time with Him. You feel you are good for now--no need to complicate life, just don't come looking for Him nor blame Him when your circumstances turn sour (humanly speaking).

“Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves, take up their cross daily and follow me." (Luke 9:23)
