The week-end now is over The work-week's just begun, I guess it happens just that way So we won't have too much fun. Another week's ahead of us So as we can, we must get our reast, For the job is so demanding It will be putting us to the test. But thank God for the strength we have And our God-given abilities, That we might labor with our hands And provide for our families. Work is a blessing that man has Tho' it's oft' not perceived that way, It gives us a chance to prove ourselves For we are not here just to play. I thank God that I have my job Tho' aometimes it is quite a drain, It gives me a satisfaction That I'm not on that free-loading train. Not all things in life are easy If 'twere so, I would never grow, In the sweat of my brow, I'll do my part And in it, God will bless me, I know "Our Creativity points to a Higher Creator--we couldn't have just happened, and for what ability we may possess--to God be the glory." -dlw- |

I agree with Janet here. Good outlook to share with many more! <*\\\>< There's only two ways you can go... One way you can save your riches, And the other will save your soul. Rich Mullins |

You're so right David, even something as ordinary as our jobs we can take for granted. You are indeed very blessed to have work to do, and to do it for his glory lends you great dignity indeed. Great attitude, great poem, thanks! |

Dear David; Your amazing gift for poetry shines forth once again! I can't tell you how many times I've felt the same way. Then my "attitude of gratitude", kicks in, and I am grateful for the job and the ability to work. Wonderful job, David! Ellie 02 |

How fortunate an employer is to have you. We too, are bessed by your presence here. An attitude of gratitude is a marvelous character trait, and I'm sure you're infecting many others with it. God bless. |
