WORK

I have always been the kind of person that works. Though I have the capability to be lazy, I don't agree with it. Some people are naturally "workers". I don't think that is me either.

I think work is another way to praise the Lord. Sometimes it is hard to do, but it changes you as you push yourself to work. When we work, it is also a time to practice "praising Him in all things". So anyway, I believe in work.

The boys have daily chores and do some extra work on Saturdays. They also wash their own clothes (except for uniforms), cook their own dinner, iron their clothes(except for uniforms), clean, and help us out with carrying supplies or luggage when teams come. Though they are hard working, I hope that the boys learn the connection there is, spiritually.

This weekend they helped prepare for a team. They were excited to know that they knew a person on the team. I was upstairs preparing on another end as Nixon and the boys laughed as they worked. May the Lord bless them and their work and may He make a way for them in life.

And may we all do everything to the glory of God. Amen.
