Your Question:
How can I provide for my family when I'm no longer able to work?
Answer:
As I reflect on how to provide for my family when I'm no longer able to work, I'm reminded of the importance of planning and preparation. Just as my parents have continued to serve and be involved in their community even in retirement, I want to ensure that Susan and I are able to do the same. We've been blessed with a loving family, and I want to continue to be a source of support and guidance for Joshua and Rebecca as they grow into independent adults. One way to prepare for this transition is to focus on building a strong spiritual foundation for our family. As a pastor, I've seen firsthand the impact that faith can have on a family's well-being and sense of purpose. By continuing to nurture our relationship with God and serving others, we can create a sense of meaning and fulfillment that goes beyond our individual work or roles. This can also involve volunteering and giving back to our community, which can be a great way to stay engaged and connected even in retirement. As I look to the future, I'm grateful for the wisdom of Proverbs 22:7, which reminds us that "the rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is slave to the lender." I want to avoid becoming a burden to others and instead focus on building a legacy of love, service, and generosity. By being intentional about our finances and planning for the future, we can ensure that our family is well-provided for and that we're able to continue serving others even in retirement.
