Who would have thought having those forgetful, sometimes embarrassing, senior moments could be so much fun--at least when they happen to someone else. I thoroughly enjoyed Karen O'Connor's depiction of the delightful roller coaster ride we take in the process of becoming "blessed with many years." Her humorous and sometimes touching stories provide models of how we can greet our advancing years with a philosophical attitude and a wry smile. Her comments and prayers at the end of each story help us put it all into perspective.

Karen O'Connor's new book is a gem. I found myself laughing out loud, nodding and then relaying her quips and common sense with friends and family. I've always enjoyed Ms. O'Connor's other books, but this is the best yet. It's also a book to share. Buy one for yourself and give 'em as presents "just because." That's what I'm going to do.

This review is from: Help, Lord! I'm Having a Senior Moment: Notes to God on Growing Older (Paperback)

When I read Karen O'Connor's humorous devotional on aging,
I thought about Ecclesiastes 12 and its description of the
body shutting down. That chapter can get depressing, but
Karen has the knack of putting a smile on the inevitable
process of growing old. Those of us who've had to retrace
our steps to remember why we went into the next room have
an understanding comrade in Karen, who helps us see ourselves
as God sees us--with compassion and love. If you know somebody
hitting one of those big "O" birthdays, don't give them black
balloons or a package of prunes. Give them this book.
