---RETIREMENT TIME? / WE KEEP WORKING FOR JESUS~~

--"For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it."
---(Matthew 16:25) --

--After working for forty years as a teacher, Jane Hanson retired. She and her husband were looking forward to relaxing, traveling, and enjoying the arrival of their first grandchild.

Then Jane heard about a ministry to at-risk youth, and she knew she had to get involved. "I realized there are kids just waiting, and I could make a difference," she said. She began teaching English to a young Liberian man who had been forced to flee his home country because of civil war. Of this ministry opportunity, Jane said, "I could just go shopping to stay busy, but what fun would that be?"

Jane is making a difference. Perhaps she has learned a little of what Jesus meant when He said, "Whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it" (text). Giving ourselves to the Lord through helping others takes self-denial, yet one day Jesus will reward that effort (v.27).

Let's follow Jesus' example of love for God, and others--no matter what our stage of life may be. Jesus wants to use us right where we are. It could be online ministry, telephone calls, emails, postal mail, whatever means we may have, lets be Jesus's hands and feet. Truly, "No One Ever Cared For Me (you), Like Jesus" ~~
