The first snow flakes are in the air. The time has changed. Summer is but a fleeting memory. Most of the Fall colours are on the ground.
Winter is just around the corner.
It is the season which Cicero referred to as he philosophized on old age, the closing season of human life. And in the Fall of this year, as we close the Millennium, we here at Calvin CRC wish to take some time and reflect on the blessing and the challenges that the Lord grants to us in the older years. As we have witnessed the baptism of one of the youngest members of the family of Christ, and as we wonder about what will be in store for her in the years ahead, we also wish to consider the other pole of human existence. We want to give particular thanks to our God for the senior saints among us. Both ends of the spectrum are visible in this psalm.
