Thoughts on working

As I was reading my Bible today, I was challanged to think about work.  Whether it is in the home doing laundry, dishes, cooking, cleaning, etc. or working outside of the home.  I catch myself complaining lately about taking the time to do simple things, like unloading the dishwasher or making the bed.  First, I know I should be thankful that I have the luxery of a dishwasher.  I could be doing them all by hand.  Secondly I know I should be thankful that I have a bed to sleep in and blankets to keep me warm.  I have been trying to find the balance between my growing Etsy business and my job as a homemaker. (Yet to be successful)  But regardless of what task I am doing or need to be doing, I need to do it for the right reason, without complaining!

1 Corinthians 15:58
"So, my dear brothers and sisters, be strong and immovable.  Always work enthusiastically for the Lord, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless."

Romans 12:11
"Never be lazy, but work hard and serve the Lord enthusiastically."

Ecclesiastes 9:10
"Whatever your hands find to do, do it with all of your might."
