DON’T WASTE YOUR RETIREMENT

It’s fairly simple. The word retirement does not exist in the Bible. We have work to do. Wisdom to share. Families to disciple. Jesus to proclaim. Churches to support. Younger generations to mentor. Prayers to pray. Hospitality to share. Generosity to give.

We have resources. We have time. We have years of learning from experience. We have talents. We’ve been in multiple Bible studies. We’ve taught many Sunday School classes. We’ve served on committees. We’ve taken mission trips overseas. We’ve volunteered untold hours.

We have nothing to lose and everything to gain. We are no longer climbing the ladder. We don’t need to impress. We don’t need to be the leader. We don’t need the applause.

We just want to serve our way through these years. We want to give our best to the Father until our last days. We want our families healthy. We want the world to know Jesus!

WE HAVE EXCITING THINGS TO DO!

So what are we waiting for? We live in a hurting world. It can be right in front of us in our families, in our social circles, in our churches. It can be half way around the world where the physical needs are oppressive, but the spiritual needs, as well.

Let’s get busy living for the Lord. Let’s keep our eyes and ears open for the cries of the needy. Let’s commit to sharing the love of Jesus Christ. Let’s be his words, his actions, his hands, his feet every precious day God gives us. AND LET’S HAVE FUN ALONG THE WAY!
