I used to hear the word “retirement” and what came to my mind was buying a new set of tires, re-tire, for my car.
I then saw friends and relatives “retiring” in the conventional way, you know, Stop working,
Slow down, take it easy, travel, have fun.
These friends and relatives I observed, always tired more easily, generally had less energy, etc.
But the one thing I noticed the most was this sense of “no purpose.” Sure, there’s lots of things to occupy my mind and time, and spend my money on, everything but purpose.
Forgive me, but it’s like having a car, your own car, still usable, you know, “A lot of miles left in this baby!” And yet we tend to trade it in, sell it off, or worse, just stop driving it, using it. The paint is a little rough, needs an oil change or maybe a tune up, OR just maybe it only needs to be Re-Tired, and not retired.
Re-Tired, given a new purpose or direction. In the park we have a young man of 80+ years who while not in the shape he was in at 30 years, but neither am I, still walks with purpose, with an idea in his head of what he’s going to do next. Good for him! I only hope when I’m 80+ years young, I’m still kicking as well as him.
We don’t have a retirement community here at Providence RV Parks at Lake Fork. We do have some retired folks and will take more. Did you know that we are one of the few Lake Fork RV Parks that all full time RV living?
You might think of us as a RE-TIRE center. Put on a new set of tires and keep rolling.
Send me your retired, your wise ones, your “I love life” ones.
Yeah, you could call us a RE-TIRE R V Park.
Regards,
James

I mentioned before that I love WORDS. I have words on the walls at Providence RV Park.
Here’s some powerful words: “Life and death is in the power of the tongue and those who love it will eat the fruit thereof,” Proverbs 18:21.
Think about it. With words we encourage another or with words we can cut someone to shreds. (Don’t do it!) With words we can comfort a child or crush their spirit. With words we can bring hope or despair. We can uncover deception or instill truth. We can empower or belittle, laugh with or laugh at. With words we even declare our love to someone in marriage, and with words can destroy it.
Words, so powerful; as it is said, mightier than the sword, and I would add just as sharp. So what type of fruit are you eating? What type are you sharing? Make it tasty.

This little video blog is about trees.
More specifically, about our RV Park and trees.
You see, about four years ago, we decided to build an the best RV park in the Lake Fork area.
Now, there are a lot of RV parks in the area so why one more here? Well, most of the parks here started as bare, flat ground and the builders put as many spaces as they could into the few acres they had. Good idea if your only purpose is to “packem’ in and make money.”
As I realized that more and more people were “moving” into their RVs, it seemed logical to park them in as nice and natural a setting as we could find. So, we looked for treed land that had not been cleared to provide a nicer setting to call home.
What we found was this heavily-treed plot and began clearing only enough ground to fit the RVs into an ample space. Kind of like permanently camping in the woods.
We installed electrical, water, and sewers, all underground, cautious to cause the minimum displacement and least harm to the trees. Every spot is heavily treed, individually placed, and has enough room for a deck, storage, and an awning. One tenant even has her own dog run inside her own fence. Really cool, you should see it!
In short, if I lived in my own RV, I think I’d like to be in an RV park community where I could personalize “my space” while blending into that community and neighborhood, so I could, say, call it “My Home.”
So, if this sounds like your kind of RV living, come by the Providence RV Park at 1762 FM 288 in Quitman and give us a look. Or better still, come take a drive thru the park and see for yourself. But be there before 7:00 PM, ‘cause the gate closes at 7 and you’ll need your own gate remote to enter after that.
Every tenant has one and you will too if you live with us.
