Would I like to find a place to be employed , that I could plant time and work well till at least I'm 65 (18 years Lord willing) of course. My body is not going to be able to do certain jobs anymore and I have accepted that. Plus I will not jump into any job , did that in the past too many times and it was a mistake. No this time I'm trying to bind my time.
But one thing that has happened over the last couple years has been the clear thinking that what I have been given is not my own . From money,to my sons and even my wife . All these blessing are from God. In His graciousness , he has given them to me under my headship to love and lead .Sometimes well, others I have fallen on my face . But I keep getting up like Rocky , dust myself off and enter the ring again a little wiser I hope.
As to money , the older I get the only real reason I want to earn a decent income again to to give back . First to God , wanting to support ministries that are having an impact preaching and defending the gospel , helping the poor , needy,orphan and widow. To my family by sharing what I have been given and Lord willing one day many grandchildren . Money is a gift to give away .
Why do people hoard it or live in such a lavish way it leaves little to share ? They have an idol and its greed and possessions. We should be responsible with money , we have to live but it its not our own .
[15] As he came from his mother's womb he shall go again, naked as he came, and shall take nothing for his toil that he may carry away in his hand.
(Ecclesiastes 5:15 ESV)
I have said it before and will again , but we take nothing with into eternity . From the womb we come naked and into the grave we go naked as well. So why do we hold onto things like it will go one forever?

When you get an "official" paying job, it better be a good paying one because we're going to need a cook, housekeeper, chauffeur, nurse and therapist. I find it shocking, in this day and age, that people ask what you do all day or assume that you must be bored.
Do they think the magic fairies do it? Here is a partial list of a day in the life of Reg:
1) I have seizures that means NO DRIVING, at all. It is illegal for me to have the care or control of any vehicle. In getting everybody to jobs, school, errands, etc., you average a minimum of 2 hours a day in the car.
2) You cook a meal from scratch, must days. That's with little or no processed foods, because of my allergies.
3) In the almost 13 years we've lived here, I can count on less than one hand, how many times I've scrubbed and vacuumed.
Shall I go on people? Enough all ready. When I say that he does everything in this house, I am not kidding. There's a reason that there is a book in a local store called "Porn for Women". Basically, it's pictures of men cooking, cleaning and being thoughtful all day. Did you get your royalties cheque yet, Honey? Love you, Mrs Reg
