Seasons of life
Numbering your days
Almost nobody — even at church — talks plainly about aging and the end of life. Scripture does, without flinching and without despair: 'Teach us to number our days, that we may get a heart of wisdom' (Psalm 90:12). This path walks the questions of the later years honestly: the fears, the possessions, the unsettled accounts, and a hope that is concrete — 'a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens' (2 Corinthians 5:1).

The horizon you don't mention
Mortality, dependence, 'what if my mind goes.' Unspoken fears govern from the shadows; spoken ones can be handed to the God who holds your days.

The house, the stuff, the will
Downsizing asks what your treasure actually was. 'We brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out' — but treasure can be sent ahead (Matthew 6:20).

Settling accounts
The unsaid words, the unmended fences — while there is still time. Few gifts to your family will outlast a peace made in person.

Hope with an address
Resurrection hope is not wallpaper; it is a place and a Person. Check whether your hope is vague comfort or a confident expectation with a name.

Fruit in old age
'They still bear fruit in old age; they are ever full of sap and green' (Psalm 92:14). A joy check on what is still growing: the praying, the blessing, the telling of His might to the next generation.
