Let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works. —Hebrews 10:24 ESV
Thinking about our Christian life as a race can sometimes seem a bit esoteric. But there are practical implications. And they’re huge because this relay runs right through your living room. The baton passes directly over your kitchen table and through seemingly insignificant conversations and encounters.
This is for you and me—real women living real, everyday lives.
And when it’s working, it works. When older women invest themselves in the lives of younger women, whole families and churches feel the blessing. When young moms and singles widen their close-knit groups to include women who have already run a few laps and lived to tell about it, both sides of the relationship are strengthened. When older women and younger women support each other in living out God’s transforming love, the entire Body of Christ grows more beautiful.
Each of us is an older woman to somebody and each of us is a younger woman to someone else. And each of us can be on both the giving and receiving end of this life-to-life process.

Make it Personal
Who is a younger woman you can encourage today? Who is an older woman that you can look to for wisdom?
