Today my oldest brother and his wife celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary. They began their married life as missionaries in Ecuador and now in retirement from teaching in Canada they continue to be missionaries in South and Central America and camp ministry in northern Canada. We will never know how many people have been impacted by their lives and their dedication and no one will probably ever know this side of heaven.
How many people and many of them Christians waste their retirement years. They look upon those years as their time to relax after all they earned it didn't they? Try and find retirement in the Bible. It is not a Biblical idea. May many more learn from the example of my brother and sister-in-law and continue to serve the the Lord in the best years of their lives.
(The picture is by my second oldest brother who celebrated 45 years of marriage this year and he and his wife also believe that retirement is a time to serve the Lord.)
