Nothing Between: A Devotional for Seniors
During most of life's journey, we rarely give thought to the time when we will be senior citizens. When it finally arrives, some of us are anxious to enjoy the world of AARP, Medicare, Social Security and ticket discounts. Others are fearful of the physical changes we don't wish to asknowledge or admit. We find ourselves in the midst of retirement from a lon-time career, facing the care of aging parents, looking forward to travel, or finding ways to use this free time productively. Those of us who "arrived" at this point have been immersed in both poitive and negative experiences. As we walk daily with God, devotional books help to encourage and strengthen us as we try to stay focused on HIs Word. "Nothing Between" is a book for those who are experiencing life's later aging process. It provides a connection between you and your Creator for an entire year, while also generating personal growth, spiritual progress and joy in living.
