The Bible:

Second Peter 3:8

“But do not forget this one thing, dear friends:

With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.”

Isaiah 46:10

Underneath it says, “what, when and how”.

It is all about “Looking at retirement options?”

The book is quite thick and I picked it up in the foyer of the library.

But there are more questions on the front page:

“entitlements?”, “village living?” “staying at home?”, “moving into care?”, “how the system works?”

I am especially interested in the question: “MOVING  INTO CARE?”

At the bottom of the front page you can read: “Essential information for older people.”

I moved into care in  my teens!

First Peter 5:7 “Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.”

Are you now asking what our duty is?

Here is the answer:

Ecclesiastes 12:13

“Now all has been heard;

here is the conclusion of the matter:

Fear God and

keep his commands,

for this is the whole duty of man.”

Now I am asking myself some questions. Are you also asking yourself some questions?

Nehemiah 3:20

“Next to him, Baruch son of Zabbai zealously repaired another section,….”

That says the ad in a travel magazine advertising the skyjump and skywalk in Auckland. ( In Maori language the city’s name is Tamaki Makau Rau, which translates as “the city of 100 lovers”.)

“….ONLY A DREAM.”

“Vision without action is only a dream.

Action without vision is wasting time.

Vision and action can change the world.”

Confucius

*************

“….BUT A DREAM,…”

“A vision without a task is but a dream,

a task without a vision is drudgery,

a vision and a task is the hope of the world.”

A church in Sussex, England, ca 1730

Is that not the same?

“Vision is not enough; it must be combined with venture.

It is not enough to stare up the steps; we must step up the stairs.”

Vaclav Havel

“Which way? There is only one way.

John 14:6

“Jesus answered, ‘I am the

WAY and the

truth and the

life.’”

But they did not. On the morning they lost against Spain we drove to Auckland and I heard about it in Whangarei at the Information Centre.

Who wants to belong to the losers? Nobody does. But I felt I did. I would have loved them to win.

*****************

No, I am not a loser. I AM A WINNER!

First Corinthians 15:57  “But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Second Corinthians 2:14 “But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ and…”

First John 5:4 “This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.”
