Three Treasures to Cherish as We Age
Episode Overview
Value your time and be intentional with it. Nurture and cherish your family relationships. Live with an awareness of eternal accountability. Focus less on trivial matters as you age. Seek to make the most of every moment for God's glory.
The older we get, we should care less about the things that don't matter and more about the things that do
In this episode of Road of Redemption, Daniel Irving shares his reflections on the three things that become increasingly valuable as we age. Drawing from his own experiences and biblical teachings, Daniel highlights the importance of time, family, and eternal accountability. With light-hearted anecdotes and a heartfelt message, he discusses how our perception of time shifts as we grow older.
Daniel points out that as we age, we become more intentional with our time, valuing it more and wasting it less. He shares a personal story about how a simple afternoon nap turned into a productive day, emphasising the importance of making the most of every moment. Next, he delves into the significance of family. As friends come and go, family remains a constant source of support and love.
Daniel stresses the importance of nurturing these relationships, especially as life changes and circles of friends evolve. Finally, he talks about the reality of standing before Christ and giving an account of our lives. This sense of eternal accountability becomes more urgent with age, pushing us to live intentionally for God's glory. Daniel also throws in a bonus point – the older we get, the less we care about trivial matters and the more we focus on what truly matters.
This episode is a beautiful reminder to cherish our time, invest in our families, and live with an eternal perspective.
