At about the same time your kids leave the nest you will likely lose some of your own steam. You used to stay up until midnight, but now you drift off by nine. You start feeling tired, weary, and worn out. So you reduce your schedule. You take longer to do things.
Life falls into a comfortable routine.
That's the problem. Empty nesters who never missed prayer meeting night, quit showing up. They are dozing at home in front of the TV that's their routine. The lonely, lazy life will lead to an early grave. Decide now how you'd like to be involved.
