Getting old may be inevitable, but feeling old is not: we can age well and maximize each decade of life if we do the right things at the right time.

We often hear it said that the word “retirement” is not in the Bible (except for Numbers 8.23-26, but this was a very special case). It’s true, because we don’t retire from being Christians, and Jesus doesn’t put any age limit on His command to share the Gospel and make disciples (Matthew 28.18–20).

They were ordinary men and women who discovered that the latter years of life can be some of the most rewarding and fulfilling. “For them, growing older wasn’t something to be denied or dreaded;” says Billy Graham, “it was to be embraced as part of God’s plan for their lives.” Billy Graham’s life and ministry have been dedicated to the here and now but always with a happy-ever-after in view.
