Living With Purpose in a Worn-Out Body: Spiritual Encouragement for Older Adults by Missy Buchanan
I purchased this book of “meditations of the heart” to send to my elderly mom who has been struggling with why she is still on this earth. She often says, “God must not want me yet. There must be a reason I am still here.” My mom has a purpose as we all do.
The following is an excerpt from this encouraging book of meditations:
“What Purpose, God?
I confess there are days when pain suffocates my passion for living.
There are dark nights when fear chokes out hope.
Sometimes I wonder why you have left me on this earth.
I have outlived so many family and friends. Why do I linger?
What purpose could you have for me now?
