Why What’s Next?

The Bible is clear about those of us that are getting older.

So even to old age and gray hairs, O God, do not forsake me, until I proclaim your might to another generation, your power to all those to come.
Psalm 71:18 (ESV)

They still bear fruit in old age; they are ever full of sap and green . . .
Psalm 92:14 (ESV)

And, as we get older, many of us consider these questions:

1) Can I retire? Should I retire?
2) What do I do when retired?
3) What will occupy my time, in retirement? Or, how can I make the most of my time, now that I am not working full-time?

As said in Jeff Haanan’s book, An Uncommon Guide to Retirement, God doesn’t intend for work to completely stop, but instead to morph and mature in age. Retirement may be just the opportunity to reassess these foundations of a fruitful life.

We may refer to those that are close to retirement age, or at retirement age, to be in their third-third of life.

Here, at The Vine, our desire is for all believers to find opportunity to flourish in this third-third. We desire to provide you with the tools and resources to flourish.

Begin with the end in mind.  You are valued by God. Your gifts and experiences matter.  Invite God to show you His purpose.
