There’s the younger generation, mid-life generation or older generation! And, since we\u2019re all alive at the same time, we are all THIS generation. And, if we’d get together, we could change the world in THIS generation. WHATEVER age, color, gender or nationality we are \u2013 God has a plan and a purpose for our lives and He needs us to pick up our batons and run this race because we are ALL still young \u2013 as long as we are on this earth. Why in the world do we allow society to dictate that at age 65 we retire? I\u2019ve seen active and vibrant people, die when they retire. Why is that? Because they quit and feel obsolete; because they quit living before they need to. And if they don\u2019t have a natural death, they die inside. They quit on life.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been on a rampage lately — as I see people \u201ccheck out\u201d before they\u2019re out! Pastor Craig Groeschel says, \u201cIf you\u2019re not dead \u2013 you\u2019re not done!\u201d That\u2019s become my personal \u201ctag line\u201d! If I\u2019m still breathing, God has a plan and purpose for my life. You and I have gifts and purposes for OUR generation. Heaven is going to be amazing \u2013 beyond adequate words of explanation. But we\u2019re still here, and we have a job to do HERE!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

I said it a couple of days ago, and I say it again today — there is no \u201cretirement\u201d in the Bible! There\u2019s only refirement. Nelson Mandela was 72 when he was released from prison, and later became Prime Minister of South Africa. <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Mother Teresa \u2013 at 85 was still running her phenomenal mission, because that\u2019s what purpose does. Purpose keeps us young. She had more wrinkles than almost anyone, and she had more life than anyone who EVER pays big $$$$$ for a new and improved version on this side of heaven. We DO NOT have to get OLD. Psalms 92:12-15 \u201cThe uncompromisingly righteous shall flourish like the palm tree. They shall be long-lived, stately, upright, useful, They shall still bring forth fruit in old age.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shouldn\u2019t that verse describe you and me? Shouldn\u2019t we want to live out our days with zeal and determination? Shouldn\u2019t we want to flourish, be useful and bring forth fruit all the days of our lives? We can! We can be ALL-OUT devoted, full-of-life rockin\u2019 grannies and grandpas \u2013 packed full of passion and taking action while we still can! And, I\u2019m proving it can be done\u2026..just ask my grandkids!!!! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
