Loss is inevitable, and as we get older, the losses increase in areas that we may not have experienced before. You start saying goodbye to friends and siblings, maybe even your partner. But there are other losses you need to contend with as you age — for instance, the loss of your ability to carry on with your career, your children leaving the home and financial losses.

Reading the Bible is a key part of your faith journey, so it's natural to want to share your favorite stories and verses with others. Not sure how to share God's word? There are lots of ways you can talk about the Bible without making others feel uncomfortable, even if they're not as solid in their faith as you are. Here are some tips to help.
Community Life & Activities
Moving into an assisted living community can feel like going back to school. You're learning where the dining hall is, checking out the activities and meeting new people. Having a circle of friends can help combat loneliness, which can often be an issue for older adults. But it can feel intimidating to develop friendships, especially if it seems like everyone already has a group of friends. These tips will help you meet new people and potentially make lasting friendships in your assisted living community.

Prayer gives you a chance to talk directly to God. Regular prayer time can help you grow your relationship with God, set your priorities and gather strength during difficult times. But your prayer life can also start to feel monotonous. It might seem like you say the same things every time you pray. Making changes to your prayer routine can help you get rid of that stuck feeling and feel more inspired when you talk to God.
