Excerpt:
I hear a rumble far away,
"Oh, Mother, will it rain today?"
My mother smiles and answers me,
"I really hope; we'll wait and see."
The garden's dry and needing rain,
So all the plants can grow again.
The sky grows black, and blacker still;
I see dark clouds behind the hill.

Not Alone: Encouragement for Senior Saints by Harold P Barker


Click here to look inside the pamphlet

Summary: God's great tenderness in carrying us through the rough places of life can be a great cheer to anyone but perhaps especially to seniors. Spiritual freshness and joy delight the soul that rests in Him and serves Him in prayer and kindness to others. However we are all warned by some who drifted away from God and dishonoured Him in their old age.
