My great grandfather lived into his mid-90s. Wade was primarily a roofer and a part time farmer. He loved to work hard and enjoy life.
When Great Grandpa Boxx was 89 years old he leaned over, and with a twinkle in his eye, whispered, “Don’t tell your parents, but I just finished roofing the church on the corner yesterday.”
King Solomon had a revelation in Ecclesiastes 3:22, when he wrote, “So I saw that there is nothing better for a person than to enjoy their work, because that is their lot. For who can bring them to see what will happen after them?”
My grandfather’s work was both a joy and very important to him, even beyond the typical retirement age. Do you have a joyful attitude about your work?
