‘God’s purpose for us is to show, as we get older, that he gives us his strength and, through our experiences of him, his wisdom,’ says Ian Knox. ‘God is not finished with us. In our later years we are not only to be blessed, but to be a blessing and bring a blessing.’ As we get older, some of us grow more frenetic in our anxiety to demonstrate that the force is still with us.

How are we going to face the prospect of ageing? Will we subside, give up? Or shall we view retirement as a gift from God, an opportunity to reach out to others? Our older years are full of possibilities, not least of which is that of helping others find Christ.
Simon Fraser, 25th chief of one of Scotland’s most prominent clans, became a great British commando leader in World War II.

As Helen grew from infancy to childhood, she is aware something is not right in her family. The family problem only became clear as Helen reached school years. Much of her appreciation of life as a whole came to her as she spends many hours alone in the fields and woods in the area where the family was living. It is here that Helen observes the beauty and wonder of creation. An avid reader from a young age, she finds solace in the stories of children and adults in a similar situation as herself and finds satisfaction in their triumph over adversity. After the Second World War is over and the family moves to South Africa, life becomes fuller as Helen begins to discover who she is as a person. Through the love and nurture of Christians, she comes to a spiritual awakening of Gods love for her and that he has a purpose and future for her. Helen discovers she has a calling from God; she follows that calling as she is led by the Spirit of God and, eventually, becomes an ordained minister in the Church of England.
