STAY ENGAGED
A classic and gifted violinist, Nicolo Paganini, willed his fine instrument to his home city of Genoa. His bequest carried one condition. The violin was never to be played; it would simply be placed on display. But such inactivity doesn’t bode well for a finely crafted stringed instrument. It needs to be used and handled regularly if its beauty and value are to be retained. As a result of Paganini's request, his marvelous violin has become nothing more than a decaying form, wasting away as a museum piece.
There’s an important truth hidden here. In our senior years, retirement can be a wonderful option, but it is mission critical to remain engaged in life. Find other worthwhile and meaningful pursuits that transcend your working career, and stay active, healthy and joyful.
Sisters and brothers, be continually blessed, and please (above all else) MAKE SURE YOU ARE READY TO MEET OUR SOON COMING KING. Maranatha!
