The Dictionary defines retirement as withdrawal from an occupation, to retreat from an active live.
The only scripture I could find on retirement was in Numbers 8:24-26
Numbers 8:24-26
24 "This applies to the Levites: Men twenty-five years old or more shall come to take part in the work at the Tent of Meeting, 25 but at the age of fifty, they must retire from their regular service and work no longer. 26 They may assist their brothers in performing their duties at the Tent of Meeting, but they themselves must not do the work. This, then, is how you are to assign the responsibilities of the Levites."

I find myself dreaming of the day I can retire, thinking that I would have so much more time to visit people, call people, send cards to people. The fact is I may never retire with this economy, so I need to find the time to do these things now. I pray the the Lord keeps my husband and I healthy enough to work as long as we want to.
