For years now, I’ve looked at it this way: Say you’re at work. It’s your last day of work for the rest of your life. Tomorrow, when you wake up, you will be a healthy, retired citizen with a bankroll that would make a millionaire jealous. Sounds appealing, right? Well, that’s where I am right now. In fact, if you are a Christian, that’s where you are too. We just have a few more years to go, and then…well, the rest! Eternity, and our Best Friend, and all the rest forever. Whenever I have a really bad day (whether it’s dealing with confrontational people or the loss of a loved one, or whatever), I like to remind myself of this: the time it’s going to take me to live the rest of my life on earth (be it seventy years or seventy minutes) won’t amount to a drop of water in the ocean of my life. I’m getting ready to retire! I can handle anything life throws at me because of that fact.

Thank you Amy such a wonderful perspective, and a wonderful Truth to share.
Thank you, Mark. I have felt this way for *years!* No idea why I’ve never thought to post about it before…
Nice! Thanks for this perspective, as we just lost my father-in-law, who really had a very hard job, down here, but should be getting a really great retirement, now. Helps with the sadness of his sad life. Thanks.
You’re welcome, Katherine! I’ll pray for comfort for you all.
