God Can Use Us

God can use us at any age, if we are willing to serve.

My Grandmother (GG as we call her) is 95 years young.  She struggles to get around but does with the aid of a walker.  The Doctors have told her "I have people in better shape then you and they are confined to a wheel chair."  She continues on preserving, ever an example of Gods Love to the rest of us.  While she may not be the most energetic of evangelist she is a deep encouragement to me and those around her.

My Son Remington is 8 years old.  He is all too willing to share the Love of God with anyone, in particular with strangers, that he meets.  He will drop everything to share Jesus with someone and to tell them what he has done with Jesus today.  The other day I was drawing a sign that said Jesus.  Remington asked if I would draw a sign for him.  I asked "do you want it to say Jesus or Remington?"  He replied "no I want it to say 'Faith'."  Remington is the evangelist GG encourages to grow.

There is no age limit for Gods workers.  No floor or ceiling on age just a heart willing to serve.  If God is our happiness why do we spend 80% of our lives focused on other things and only when we are very young and very old do we focus on Him?  I think it is because 80% of the time we think we have life figured out and 20% we know we don't.
