We read the examples of elderly Simeon and Anna in Luke 2:22-40. History records that Simeon may have helped translate the Greek version of the Old Testament often quoted in the New Testament. Yet the most important thing about his life is that Simeon was the kind of senior who had lived a "just and devout" life, the kind of man who we should all learn from. Anna devoted many decades of her life to the service of God in the Temple. She seems to be a model of the expectations of a widow in I Timothy 5:5-9.
