Where Are You Invested?

I’m a “baby-boomer” getting ready to embrace a new adventure in my life as I enter into my sixties. I look forward to this new era of great expectations. This is going to be an exciting time for me and others who will be embarking upon this phase of our lives where we want to make an impact. As I look ahead, I also look backwards to see how my investments have grown over the years.

I needed to know whether I invested well over the time spent and gone. It’s time to see if I’ve gained any interests on those investments. It’s time to cut the fat, lose the useless and count up the cost of becoming leaner. I’m calling myself into accountability for my latter years, so I’m looking at how I invested.

I invested time into Living Well so that my example would encourage others
I invested in Perseverance to make it this far
I invested in Discipline to show I can follow directions
I invested in Character to exhibit rightness no matter who’s looking
I invested in Integrity to honor God’s name and who I represent
I invested in Truth to maintain honesty and integrity
I invested in Study to be knowledgeable and ever learning
I invested in Relationships to show love and care for people and my family
I invested in Teaching for there were many who wanted to be taught
I invested in Music so that my heart would always have a song to sing
I invested in Family so that I would always have a home to come to
I invested in Self so that I would be mindful of how I affect others
I invested in Others who didn’t know they were worthy of my time
I invested in Righteousness to show God I’d follow His Word
I invested in Love to be loved and to show love as well as receive the same



I invested in God’s Word so that when I forget all of these investments and the blessings they have brought into my life, God’s Word reminds me that had not God first invested in me, I would not have invested at all.
