I’m grateful that I have a job in today’s economy. I am extremely blessed that I can provide for my family while there are many hard working honest men who at this time cannot. I thank God everyday that if my family gets sick or injured things will be cared for. I am privileged just to be able to put food on the table and a roof over our heads. And I know that if GOD had not provided everyday, as He faithfully has, I would have nothing, and I would be unable to provide for this family.
I confess, however, selfishness as I grow tired of the day in and day out eye full of corruption that I receive. I am tired of the “do as I say, not as I do” attitudes found in leadership. And I know that anywhere I go I will see this, but sometimes I think, “at least I would be home with my family more, and I could choose my own clothes.“
Nevertheless, I thank God for the gift of this job, the experience I have gained -and continue to gain-, and the ability to provide for my family. May the Lord use me to proclaim His glory, further His Kingdom, and encourage (and perhaps edify) the saints.
