I think the interesting point is that if you are walking in Gods will would you ever want to quit? If you career isn't your calling, well thats another discussion, but even if you leave your job, the question is what does God have for you next? Once you find that and are actively doing Gods will, the question is, are you retired? .-= DiscipleshipGuy´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Discipleshipguy/~3/98A-UNlDnws/" rel="nofollow">10 Ways to accomplish your new years goals</a> =-.

Yes, we should do everything to the glory of God. Especially when drinking a cup of tea in the morning (I don't drink coffee). Do you mean to say I might not live forever?

I'm glad you mentioned that "following conventional advice without thought is a recipe for disappointment". I think too many people just follow some game plan (often that they don't even understand). You first step should be deciding how God wants to use you and then fill in the gaps from there. As always, thanks for an insightful comment. Sorry for making you think over the holiday season.

I hope you take your son-in-law and daughter with you when you travel :). I completely agree that we never retire from severing God. Thanks for your comment.

As I look forward to my retirement from my present job in the next few years, I think about what I would like to do during that part of my life. We would like to do some traveling and where ever we go, I would like to do some teaching and helping churches where ever we may be. To me, you don't retire from serving God!

This really got me to thinking how we need to carefully consider our definitions, ideas, and purposes for retirement <em>before</em> we start planning. Savings goals for someone who never plans to retire will be quite different from someone who plans to do full-time missionary work supported entirely by their own (God's) money. The same is true for non-Christians. You really need to think about what kind of retirement you want and how much it will take to support that. Just following conventional advice without thought is a recipe for disappointment. .-= Paul Williams´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.providentplan.com/1031/christian-personal-finance-blogs/" rel="nofollow">Christian Personal Finance Blogs</a> =-.

When we have a "life is temporary, eternity is infinite" mentality and begin to live for that day rather than this day we start to savor the little things of life - even down to the hot cup of coffee we have in the morning and we realize it is all for God's glory. He's created all this - even work - for our enjoyment and when we enjoy it fully we bring Him more glory! .-= Jason @ Redeeming Riches´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/RedeemingRiches/~3/5Cs_ATH2hQk/" rel="nofollow">Should You Wait to Give Until You Have Enough Money?</a> =-.
