Today's thought:  Work and Prayer

A friend once told me the Jesuits have a saying, "Work as if everything depends on you, and pray as if everything depends on God."

There are those who offer up their work to God on a daily basis, with the intention of offering Him only their best.  Kahlil Gibran has written, "Work is love, made visible," and we see how true this is when we see a mother and father caring for their child.

Be grateful for work.  It stimulates the mind, exercises the body, helps define who we are, and pays our bills.  No matter who we are, or where we are, we all have bills to pay.  Be grateful to those who employ you and those who buy what you make.  Be grateful for all you are able to do.  Be grateful to God for without Him, nothing exists, and nothing is possible.

Wishing you the blessing of loving the work you do, a deep sense of prayer and gratitude to God and to all those who worked with love for you.....and peace, joy, and love, always.
