The interesting thing about our work is that it is both a curse (see Genesis) and a blessing (see Proverbs, etc.). I have found that reflecting on the fact that God gave me this cubicle job to help those around me, and those that ultimately use our products/services , and this is a form of general blessing (the whole raining on the wicked bit). This is all in addition to putting food on the table for the family. And so I remember that work done to the glory of God is always noble. But it is usually a struggle, until all things are made right again. <BR/><BR/>I am a praying type.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
