The mission of The Sage Forum is to encourage, equip, and empower women over 40 to mature in faith and grow in wisdom. We send out a newsletter at the beginning of each month focusing on a different theme relevant to women in the second half of life. In January, we’ll be talking about music, which plays a powerful role in our lives as we age.

I didn't expect to like this role, this season, as much as I do. To sit and watch the next generations begin to find themselves and their giftedness and calling is a lovely grace. Even when their paths get treacherous I can lift them up to the Lover of their souls and be confident that all will be well. Because He loves them even more than I do. And my need to rescue, fix, or save fades.
More and more, I am seeing the wisdom and benefit of age as I interact with young momma's in my neighborhood and church. That quiet encouragement, that word of support, and " I'm here" is so needed.. Face you face! May we in the older generation be a Paul to those Timothy's around us!
What an excellent piece this is! I am teaching our adult class on Sunday on the "unexpected gifts of the season", and now I'm thinking of the double meaning of that topic - not only the Advent season but the season in which we Sage Agers find ourselves. I plan to quote from this article. Thank you for helping me teach others this week!

Thank you, Judy, for wise words that help to confirm some of the decisions I have made in the past year.
Beautiful Judy. Thank you
Thank you for reminding us of the power of community, Michele. God never intended us to make this journey alone.
