Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.”

‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭4‬:‭16‬ ‭NIV‬‬

While aging may arrive at our table with sides of illness, fragility, and lots and lots of wrinkles, being up in years serves up vast portions of maturity and wisdom.

Inward growth becomes our senior superpower.

As an elder, I now have greater confidence and clarity of the variety I had always sought when I was a younger man.

Renewal of mind, position and purpose is the commodity we now trade for beauty, agility, and all the passing attributes of youth we once cherished.

When I’m gone, I’ll both leave as a renewed man, and leave my renewal attributes for the world to remember me by.

Not a bad trade for an end game if you ask me.

So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.”

‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭4‬:‭18‬ ‭NIV‬‬
