HARVEST YEARS' RETIREMENT
STRATEGIES AND AVOCATIONS
It has been reported in
M-K-T-Employees'
Magazine
that as a man grows older he values
the voice of experience more, the voice of
prophecy less. He finds more of life's wealth in
the common pleasures -- home, health,
children. He thinks more about the worth of
men, and less about their wealth. He begins to
appreciate his own father more. He boasts
less and apologizes more. He hurries less and
usually makes more progress. He esteems the
friendship of God more and more.
So here I am: stuck between the
"Young
and the Restless"
and the
"Old and the
Stressless."
Here are the ages of life:
"You
are... You could be ... You can be... You will be
...
You could have been... You were."
It has been
said that the average elephant lives longer than
the average human being, which proves that
there may be something to working for
peanuts; but some think that it proves the
secret of long life is a thick skin.
Listen to the soothing words of
"GROWING
OLD"
by Rollin
J.
Wells:
A little more tired at close of day;
A little less anxious to have our way;
A little less ready to scold and blame;
A little more care of
a
brother's name;
And so we are nearing the journey's end;
Where time and eternity meet and blend.
