In considering the elderly, may we consider this if we find ourselves lacking compassion…"So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more siginificant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though He was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but made Himself nothing, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on the cross." Philippians 2:1-8
Meditate on this, and ask God to help you see His undeserved mercy that He has for you; ask God to change your heart in order to view all His creation, especially the elderly, with the same kind of love…
