You have the right priorities. Non spiritual people can't understand it so they attack it. Many Boomers went through life punching the clock every day and now are old and have little in the spiritual realm to show for it. If you saved your money, good for you, you now ride around in your diesel pusher paying $4 for gas and running from boredom at home. If you didn't save your money, you wake up daily wondering how you will make it through the month and having envy for the guy running around in his motor home. In the end none of this matters because it's all vanity. What are Boomers doing for God? Do they have a family that's not divorcing or addicted to drugs?

If someone works 40 years and retires, what will God think of the treasure you have in heaven?

Now the flames that are about to descend upon me, Just take a moment to weigh the gold and silver in your life against the wood and paper to find out if you are TRULY happy.

One thing for sure, we were all born dying. Unless the King comes back soon, we will die and our lives will be weighed and we will wonder why we spent so much valuable time chasing nothing that lasts. It's all vanity.

I will have to answer why I spent so much time typing posts on FR.

Just sayin.

Just a side note to your post....there is nothing in scripture where God speaks of us retiring in the way man has designed it. Retirement is a man made idea.

He says we are to occupy til he comes....be as active as we can be in His work and life.

I have noted as I age thru life that there are indeed ‘seasons’ we go through...no matter what age you are at... How we see the world changes in what is valuable and what is not.... Material things seem less important and we are satisfied with far less then we certainly thought the ten years prior of those seasons.

I enjoy the different seasons be it in want or plenty and all in between....for we learn and are being prepared for what God has in store for us on the other side of this life.
