After many years of steady work and loyal service, retirement has opened before me a door I never knew existed. It feels as if I’ve gently laid down a heavy cloak at the edge of a shimmering forest and stepped into a secret garden—one filled with light, promise, and mystery.
An old chapter has quietly closed behind me, and in front of me unfolds a winding trail lined with blossoms I’ve never seen before—each one holding whispered possibilities. I find myself standing at the heart of this new beginning, both hopeful and hesitant, almost afraid to unfold the secrets these uncharted petals might reveal. And I face the question: Do I really want to follow this new path? Or will I turn back before discovering what waits for me?
Yet something inside me knows… this path was meant for me. And every step forward carries the promise of a life I’ve only dreamed of.
The rhythm in this new forest is different—softer, like a lullaby sung by the wind through the trees. Mornings arrive like golden threads woven into the sky, inviting me to linger with a warm cup in hand, to watch the light dance across the leaves, to hear the laughter of birds as though they’re welcoming me home.
In this new season, even the smallest things feel magical: the quiet of a freshly watered garden, the glow of sunlight spilling across a peaceful room, the hush of unhurried time spent in God’s Word. It feels like He has sprinkled hidden treasures all along the path, just waiting to be discovered.
Scripture whispers: “The righteous will still bear fruit in old age; they will stay fresh and green” (Psalm 92:14). How comforting to know that even as life slows to this gentle pace, God continues to let my soul blossom—like an evergreen tree by living waters, always bearing fruit for His glory.
So here I am, stepping into this enchanted chapter with joy—ready for the gardens yet to bloom, the golden sunsets yet to be seen, and the sweet nearness of God who walks beside me on this new path. 🌿✨🌷
