Retirement! This Is the Day?

This too has past. I’ve had a nice time serving young people in the Polk County School system. On May 21st my job will be eliminated so this means the day everyone looks for is come to past? Retirement!

Retirement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Retirement is the point where a person stops employment completely.

[1] [2] A person may also semi-retire and keep some sort of retirement job, out of choice rather than necessity. This usually happens upon reaching a determined age, when physical conditions don't allow the person to work any more (by illness or accident), or even for personal choice (usually in the presence of an adequate pension or personal savings).

Well, I have reached a determined age. The rest is um somewhat questionable. God has blessed me to reach this point in life for which I am thankful. Another door has closed and another chapter is complete and now I await the new venture he has for me in the days ahead.

I am excited about the days ahead to see what surprise the Lord has for me this time. Little did I know in 1996 when my previous job was eliminated that I would get to work in a school system like I desired many years ago? These young people have been a challenge. They have been good for me and I believe I have been good for them.

No, I haven’t quit writing Surfing with Jesus nor have I given up my little country church. I wrote a song one time for a group of senior ministers that said? I’m not dead yet, I’m not dead yet, Glory Hallelujah I’m not dead yet? And that’s my story and I’m sticking with it.

A fellow staff member gave me a card with a “DaySpring” writing by Roy Lessin

“Our times are in His hands our early years, our middle years, and our later years. No time is better or greater than another, for all of our years work together in God’s marvelous plan for our lives.”

Thank you for allowing me in your home each week to share what’s on my heart. I look forward to following God’s Plan.

REMEMBER

“If we confess our sins he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” 1John 1:9
