Welcome to the Winter Warriors club. A club made up of “seasoned” women who have a desire to give their heart to Abba even during the phases of their winter season. Maybe you’ve been going through changes that have you discouraged and ready to throw in the towel.

Change is inevitable: hearing aids, eyeglasses, and a knee replacement are just a few I’ve already experienced. Not to mention the changes to my body shape and style – yikes! Maybe you’ve been through some of these changes, too. If we dwell too long on the inevitable, it can be easy to get discouraged and want to just sit down and give up.

In this study you will be treated to twenty-four devotions by “seasoned” authors who continue to be active for the Lord in many ways – large or small – it is all for God’s glory.

You will hear me saying often: “God did not stamp an expiration date on our forehead.” While studying these women from the Bible, you will discover that God can and will use you even in your winter season.

As my friend Beth says, “There’s only one alternative to growing old.” And we all know what that is – something we will all have to face eventually, but until then, let’s make a pact to grow old as “seasoned” women being Winter Warriors for our Abba!

As I have gotten older I have wondered if I can still be used by God. I know some may think what a silly thought to have. But as we age we think that others won’t want to listen to the wisdom we have received throughout our years. I remember being in a Bible study this past year. My husband and I were the oldest couple there. It was a marriage ministry class and we we’re hopeful to hear from other couples how they have overcome obstacles. We were quiet through each session until a couple spoke up. They told us that we have years of married life and wanted to hear our testimony. They honored us that day by allowing us to share our story.

The ladies came to me after class and told me that I had much to give them and wanted me to continue to minister to them each week. What a great reminder it was that no matter how old we are, God can use us. This book is a great tool for encouragement for all of us. The easy to read daily reading includes scriptures, daily prayer and questions to answer.

The book isn’t long but definitely would be a great gift to other women to help then on their journey. We are never too old to learn or to use the gifts that God has given us to reach out to others.

I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The book is my own opinion.
