The importance of Enjoying your Golden Years

 I enjoy visiting older women who have lots of stories! Many of them had regrets in their lives and others wanted to talk about their aches and pains. Others would tell senior jokes which grieved my heart. One day when came home from those visits I got righteous indignation. and decided it was time to not just listen to seniors who were becoming very negative but to look through the Bible on senior living. I found 29 wonderful scriptures on Golden Years.
