How about a little perspective on this Monday morning:
“What do people really get for all their hard work? I have thought about this in connection with the various kinds of work God has given people to do. God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God’s work from beginning to end. So I concluded that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to enjoy themselves as long as they can. And people should eat and drink and enjoy the fruits of their labor, for these are gifts from God.” Ecclesiastes 3:9-13 (NLT, emphasis mine)
He has placed within me a longing for my heart’s true home. In the meantime, with my limited understanding of His ways and works, I can do what He has set before me, with joy and thanksgiving.
Have a great week!
Amen girl!!
Yesterday afternoon, Jason and i sat on the deck and talked about this very thing. We have had times when Jason worked crazy hours and made crazy good money and times when he was in part time sales and commission and money was tight and times like now where we have a modest amount of money but we ENJOY our lives. I think the joy, the spending time with family is more important than a lot of money…I think enjoying your work, too, is more important than stress.
