This week in our village and the surrounding communities, we are Celebrating Seniors with a week of activities and recognition of the vital seniors in our community - the stories, their words of wisdom, and their accomplishments are inspiring. In today's busy world, we don't often stop to reflect on those who have 'paved' the way for us in so many segments of our lives --because they cared, they were involved, they volunteered, they created, they advocated, they believed, they parented, they worked, they ministered, etc. we enjoy a rich tapestry in our community and in our lives.
I hope that Seniors Week turns into Seniors Month, Seniors Year, etc. and that we find ways to recognize and integrate seniors into our lives and those of our community on a daily basis.
