Soft evening embraces the autumnal leaves and the
gently aged roof of the weathered cottage.
Youth is wonderful; yet there is something
marvellous about the older.
It has been through the storms ...
It has seen many things ...
It has withstood the battering of the elements ...
and come out, triumphant, serene - and slightly weathered -
at the end.
Let us rejoice in our elder years
Our years of wisdom after a lifetime of discovery.
Being older is a privilege that many have not been granted.
Let us thank God for our youth;
treasure our mid years;
and glory in our old age.
It is the time of coming together,
of gathering our wisdom and knowledge into the barn of our life
It is the Time of Our Dignity.
