When Abraham was 75 years old, God called him to leave the land of his father and he unhesitatingly departed for the land of Canaan (Genesis 12:1-8). He was rootless, homeless, “not knowing where he was going” (Hebrews 11:8). Such was the story of Abraham’s life of faith.<\/p>\n
It’s a fact that age brings change and uncertainty. It means transition from a familiar past to an uncertain future. It can mean movement from a family home to a smaller place, to a daughter’s or son’s home, to a retirement village, or to a nursing home.
