ReviewsWrinkles. Slowing metabolism. Forgetfulness. Changing hormones. Aches and pains that appear out of nowhere. Ask any woman about the changes accompanying age and you're sure to hear some of these. But what if we take these same transitions and shift our perspective, turning discouragement into a heart of gratitude? In Aging Gratefully , Heather Creekmore masterfully turns our face to God rather than the mirror. She's the friend you want to laugh about the changes, reframe how you think about aging, and keep your eyes fixed on Jesus as you do. Aging Gratefully is the companion you need as you step into the next phase of life with confidence and gratitude for the story God has created (and continues to create) in you.

SynopsisAging. Grateful. Those are two words you don't usually see in a sentence together. Culture tells us that aging involves wrinkles, extra pounds, arthritis, and graying hair. And its answer to aging's many problems? Fight back! And we do, wearing ourselves out physically, emotionally, and spiritually in the process. But the Bible speaks about aging differently-that each year is a gift from God. Aging Gratefully offers humorous encouragement and sincere hope for this stage of life. In 30 devotional readings, Heather Creekmore points each day to something you can be thankful for in your current season. She guides you in prayer, giving words to your practice of gratitude, and then gets you moving to put your thanksgiving into action. You'll find reasons to laugh out loud, reminders to live abundantly, and a solid rationale for why aging and grateful really do belong together., Aging. Grateful.
