Senior Citizens

What do you think of when you hear the term senior citizens? People who can't hear so they speak so loud that everyone around them hears everything they say? Someone who walks or drives so slow you are constantly looking for ways to pass? Guys with old ball caps or ladies with big bags of knitting? Walkers, wheelchairs, or blue hair?

Well, some of these can be true but mostly they are just patriotic Americans who have worked hard all their lives. Some are still working just to pay for insurance and gas in their cars.

We are blessed to have a group of senior adults here that minister. Our Merry Makers have a ministry that they participate in every month. We have seniors going on mission trips regularly. Our SAM group has had over 20,000 ministry visits in the last 9 years. They are doing what God called us all to do.

So why don't you kiss or hug a senior adult today. Someday it could be you.
