In the Philippines, some congressmen are planning to pass a law that would lower the retirement age of government employees to 56. That's good news! Most people work so hard in their younger years that, when they grow old, they can retire comfortably. Now, if this law is approved, people can retire much earlier. They can then spend their remaining years enjoying life and their families. But is that all we can really expect when people grow old? Interestingly, the Bible speaks of many examples of people who, when they grew old, chose to live productively and fruitfully for the Lord in spite of their old age.
