With so much going on in my life I have been asking myself...how am I gonna get everything done without feeling 100% overwhelmed and burned out?
The answer came to me yesterday during church. One of our church leaders gave an inspiring talk on work and service. It was exactly what my heart needed to hear. Funny how that works isn't it?;)
Over and over he said..."Work to exertion in the Lord". Everything we do we should do with love and kindness and thoughtfulness to others. Even when we are cleaning our homes, blogging or working from 9 to 5...know that working hard is what we are meant to do. Work and projects keep us happy and fulfilled.

"Continuity of purpose is one of the
most essential ingredients of happiness in the long run, and
for most men this comes
chiefly through their work." -Bertrand Russell

How do you fill your days? Do you work outside the home? Are you fulfilled? Is your work, really not work at all? Is there a way you can look at what you do with a pair of fresh eyes?
Love your message today on your blog. Yes the plat is always full. But with Him I always have more than enough tiem to complete it all. Do I feel like I can not really. But somehow it always works out.
ReplyDeleteI do work outside the home. I have forever. Which means I wear many many hats.
But I love what I do. I once heard that you you do what you love you will never work a day in your life. So I guess I dont feel like I work at all. Im not sure that has always been the case but this point in my life it is.
Blessings
Les, I appreciated the same talk yesterday. Just what I needed to hear. I wanted to walk outside this morning, but worried that it was a bit too cold. Aud has been a little sick. Hopefully it warms up soon! Happy Monday!
