Episode Six:
Finding A New Identity in Retirement and Contentment that Changes Things 

Recorded October 2023 

Dad explains what “CFC” means to him, finding meaning in retirement, and then even getting a post retirement job as a cross-county trucker.  While not everyone may relate to retirement, I think we all can relate to getting a new identity at times. Dad’s main takeaway is this: we need to stay close to Jesus. That is our saving grace.  While on the road, he wrote a little song for Jesus. In case you didn’t hear all the words, it’s written below.  Ultimately, no matter what stage we are at in life, we should rely on Jesus. It’s Jesus that has set us on a path to true life and appreciating the life we have now. He ends by pointing us to what Jesus called the greatest commandment – love for God and people.

Quotes:  
Manna From Heaven (A Trucker’s Song) by Rafael Aspeitia

He’s the manna from Heaven 
He’s the well that won’t run dry
He’s my savior Lord, Jesus 
And I love him this is why  

He hung upon that tree 
And He did it just for me 
He’s the manna from Heaven 
He’s the well that won’t run dry
  
They put him in the ground, 
but he refused to stick around 
He’s the Manna from Heaven 
He’s he well that won’t run dry
