SENIOR MOMENTS (with God): Women's Stories about Aging with God
Hosted by Gretchen Fleming · EN
As we women age, we often lose our stories. No one seems to want to hear our journey, and old age can be a time of isolation. This podcast does not accept that status. Instead, this podcast CELEBRATES the stories of women who have walked with God through good times and bad. We each have a story to tell to glorify our Creator. By doing so, I hope to encourage every woman, old or young, seasoned or young, to realize how much God loves you and wants to walk this journey with you.

Nov 3, 202300:28:14Tap to summarizeShe will never forget the click of her mother's high heels on the linoleum floor as she walked away from her in that German orphanage. As the great oak door shut and the nun ushered her into another room where two adult strangers waited to adopt her, the heart in her child's body broke, and the trauma began. But God. God was not going to abandon her even though her earthly mother did. God showed her what perfect love is. He showed her that he understood rejection through the sacrifice of his son, Jesus. Years later, in the States, Carol continued to grow closer to God through Jesus. She found her birth mother and the stepfather and the truth about her childhood. The chains were broken. She leaves not a legacy of trauma with her children and her children's children. She leaves a legacy of love for God and the Truth of salvation. Listen to her story, a miracle story for God's glory.

He reminded the disciples that the kingdom of heaven is comprised of the innocence and trust and love that children often possess and demonstrate.

On National Unity Day, these sweet students eagerly told me what Psalm 133:1 means: Behold! It is good and pleasant when we dwell in unity!
