| What are your thoughts on retirement? Biblical?
I'm curious to know whether you would consider retirement 'biblical' or not?
For me, having been retired now for 12 years it has truly been a wonderful time of life, learning, coming to know our Lord better! I feel blessed to have this time and am so grateful it is possible! I retired the same year my husband died. I'd met many challenges in life and felt very happy to just back out a little and take a closer look at what the Lord may bring along!
I must admit the financial part was a great challenge to me. I owned my home but during the years there were repairs and maintenance that was difficult! Finally I sold my home and moved to an apartment, deciding to 'travel light' here and this is not my real home anyway! I love my life and my time to fellowship and encourage others, to teach the ladies class as a substitute, lunch out, quilt, research reformed theology on the computer and attend church 3 times weekly! What could be better? I know as christians we never retire as all we do is considered work for Him! My children have their own families and live nearby but also have very busy lives! Just wondering if you will retire and what will you do then to fill your time and manage your life?
