Friday

I’m looking forward to tomorrow – I get to take a rare telecommuting day. Pajamas are the clothing I was made to work in.

I’m so thankful to have a job. I don’t always feel that way when I’m there, but I know that’s foolishness. There is a real temptation to feel like the job is just a means to an end, and that life really doesn’t begin until I get home. Of course, there is a lot of truth there. What’s most important to me, humanly speaking, is at home: my family. But I know that there’s a calling for me at work too, and it’s more than just earning a paycheck (even one that I am very, very grateful for).

I’m working through this, and I pray I get it before I’m too old to make a difference where I’m at. Each day, no matter where one is, should be greeted with thankfulness, purpose, and rejoicing. Oh, to live that. Each day is a gift.

On a side note: My better half, eldest daughter and sophomore daughter, along with my parents in love, are going to Baylor to visit eldest son. I have to stay home. Wait, let me rephrase that. I get to stay home. I will get some one on one time with young Blake: time for Ci Cis, the Rockets game on TV, and to see him take to the field in a soccer match on Saturday.

I’m blessed.

Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men

– Colossians 3:23

Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice.

– Philippians 4:4
