I have just a little under 3300 days until I retire. Oooh, it's so close!
But, what does that mean?
I keep hearing that people can't wait to retire and stop working. They plan their finances so they can afford to stop working and maintain their current lifestyle (or have it improve, even). I can't say that I've ever seen the words "play" or "entertainment" used any positive way in the Bible. I've heard it said that fun is Satan's counterfeit for the joy that God wants for us. Makes sense to me.
Is that realistic? Does God ask us to work diligently for a time and then coast until the day we find out how He thinks we did?
I guess I don't think so, but then I'm not really experienced in "retirement life." I could very easily be wrong. I guess I just see retirement as a close to one part of the job that God has given me and an opening to the next. What say you?
