I found this in the October AGE CONCERN Newsletter:

From an Irish teatowel and sent in by A. Townsend, Wellington.

TAKE TIME

Take time to think, it is the source of power

Take time to Pray, it is the secret of perpetual youth

Take time to Read, it is the fountain of Wisdom

Take time to Love and Be Loved, it is a God given privilege

Take time to be Friendly, it is the road to Happiness

Take time to Give, it’s too short a day to be selfish

Take time to Work, it is the price of success

Take time to do Charity, it is the key to Heaven

TAKE TIME TO DO CHARITY, IT IS THE KEY TO HEAVEN???

WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY? READ Ephesians 2:8,9

honouring God

expressing His love

making followers of Jesu

AGE CONCERN – Serving the Needs of older People – celebrated the Day today here in Kaitaia in the Far North Community Centre from 10.00 AM – 3.00 PM.

The Expo was called “Health and Savety in the HOME.”

When I saw the banner “AGE CONCERN” in front of the Community Centre the following verse from the BIBLE came to my mind.

Isaiah 46:4 *

Even to your old age and gray hairs I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you.

WHAT A GOLDEN NUGGET!

1. I will sustain you

2. I will carry you

I will sustain you (second time) Do we ever need sustaining when we get older!

3. I will rescue you

It was really good that I had that verse on my mind, because one corner of the EXPO was ‘deadly’. There was information about: Parkinson’s desease, Alzheimers, Stroke Symptoms, Arthritis etc.

A preacher in the Baptist Church in Kerikeri said some time ago,” Old age is not for sissies.” I will remember that always.

* Three points for a sermon!
