Review
"Karen has hit upon the things we least enjoy about getting older, but she enables us to see God's hand in our 'maturity.' "
-- Kathy Collard Miller, author of Why Do I Put So Much Pressure on Myself? --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Product Description
Like it or not, senior moments happen. We might as well laugh about them and thank God for the way they add interest to our lives. After all, what would life be without the cordless phone ringing faintly from where you left it in the fridge? Some senior moments are more heartbreaking or embarrassing than funny. But in every case, we can take them to the Lord who cares for us. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Delightful! Humorous! Touching!, September 5, 2002

By	"maxdiana2" (Meridian, ID USA) - See all my reviews

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Delightful!, July 23, 2002

By	Eva Shaw (Carlsbad, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't Forget There's Laughter, July 1, 2002

By	Jeanne Zornes (Wenatchee, WA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.
