Anyone else here over 65 (and don't mind sharing it
)? Do you have any comments or thoughts on being an older Golden Eagle, being retired or anything else?
I loved my 60s and really enjoy retirement. I've just turned 70 and my perspective has changed a bit. I like my age and love talking to others who've been through the same stages of life during the same decades. (Although I enjoy being with younger people too.) I can't believe we're 70 now. It feels like 50 but without having to go to work!
A couple of things are different though. I've realised that I have to be a bit more careful health wise. I need to be able to do everything for myself, so having a broken limb would be a real bind, and I'm aware of being slightly more frail than a few years ago.
The other is that Heaven has started to feel nearer. Although I think I have a few years left I find it
awesome that before very long I'll be in the place where "...There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain... "
(Rev 21 v 4b). Sometimes I worry that I have not done enough, but then I tell myself I'm going to Heaven because I have accepted Jesus as my Saviour, not because of anything I've done (apart from believing in Him).
What are your thoughts/experiences?
