No matter how old you are, Nancy DeMas Walgamuth encourages you to be intentional about how you use your time.

You know what? Some of the younger women are just way too busy today.

And I say that about myself sometimes, just way too busy to be doing the kind of praying we ought to be doing.

Some of these women who are in that older season of life, some of them widowed, some of them very

alone, but crying out to the Lord night and day as Anna did, God is hearing those prayers.

This is the Reviver Hearts podcast with Nancy DeMoss Walgamuth, co-author of Seeking Him.

For December 24th, 2024, I'm Dana Gresh.

Happy Christmas Eve, friend. I hope you're just about to observe some of the special

traditions you do each year to remind you of the reason we're celebrating tomorrow.

You know, in the Gospel of Luke, we read about Anna, who'd been told she would see the Messiah in her lifetime.

She's a picture to us of patience and aging gracefully.

We studied her life last week and this week on Revive Our Hearts,

and the series is called Anna, the woman who welcomed Christ. Nancy ends the series talking

with her friend Holly Eliff and other listeners about women they know who remind them of this

godly woman from Luke, Chapter 2. Holly, there's a woman who, some of these women will remember, used to come

to many of our recording sessions, who is another type of modern day Anna. And we were talking about

her last night, Suzanne Dudgeon. Some of you know her. And Holly, tell us a little bit about, she was a

member of the church that your husband pastors for a number of years.

Right. And they were on our staff at our church for several years before they moved to Florida to help with their grandchildren.

But some of you might remember Suzanne as the cheerleader of Reviver Hearts because after each recording session,

every session Nancy did at the end of it,

Suzanne would start applauding.
