Retired not Expired

When we look at the "Best used by" date, we make the decision whether or not we will use the product be for it expires. Well I have convinced myself that being retired means I have exceeded my "best used by" date and it feels good. I am retired not expired. I thank God for all of those years of employment. Our age should not determine the level of joy we can experience. I am going to enjoy every minute of this new energy because I am retired not expired. I consider myself a non-perishable item because I believe I have been restored and rejuvenated. I will say this to you. Do not give up on your dreams. Remember there is hope for those who keep the faith. Do not be put yourself in a box that limits your ability to venture out and try new things. We have one life to live and an eternity to spend with the Lord. Let's enjoy some of this Heaven on Earth.
