Background to today’s prayer
Anna, who was in the temple (and had fasted and prayed for years) at the same time as Simeon (who was content to go home to glory now that he had seen the Messiah).
They were both at the temple when baby Jesus was brought in to be dedicated,
Anna should be a symbol for our older women in our churches today.
Older women need to be there to bless the younger folks.
I am very blessed to have some older women in my life. They do everything from
Making me fudge,
To handing me down ties,
To remembering me in prayer (and many of them can really pray!),
And I have a GREAT relationship with them.
So, do you have any “Annas” in your life? If not, why not?
Comments
Dear God, the Anna's in my life over the years had an impact that they never even realized and it still extends to the next generations. Thank You for them. Please bless the inheritance they left behind.
Ps 16:6 The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance. NIV
