God always has three generations of His people on the earth:
*The Young... Birth to Adulthood in late Twenties
*The Adult... Thirty Somethings to Sixty Somethings
*The Elder... Seventies to eternity
In a way it's the proverbial three leggeed stool. It's a type of the trinity. It's a perfect triangle.
I am becoming more and more aware of this dynamic. Where does the Church spend much of it's energy? As I enter the last phase, I consider what this means.
Each of these has something to give and has needs.
I don't have more...except to say, maybe we need to value each of these as they are... supportive legs of a stool. If one is missing the stool collapses. When a fellowship begins to collapse... a leg is missing.
