Neverending Job

First thing's first...

That right there, in my hand, is dinner. Jamie is gone and I had a rough day. I was planning on having a salad for dinner. On days like these, ice cream takes precedence over roughage. Duh. So I elegantly dined on a chocolate concrete with raspberries and marshmallow cream from Sheridan's Custard. Yum-o-li-cioso! Don't you just love my made-up words? I sure do!

Mmm Mmm Good! Best dinner ever!:
This is what I'm doing this evening:
Sitting in my jommies, with my goggie (who just so happened to jump in the picture. She's so vain!), taking a bubble bath (sorry folks...no pic of that!), and watching movies. Top night if I do say so myself!

Back to business....

Our Job Doesn't Stop:

So, I've been very convicted lately about my job. I'm not talking my 9:00-6:00 job that has a start and end. I'm talking about my job as a Christian. The job that starts when I asked Jesus into my heart and continues when I walk through the pearly gates of Heaven. The reason I've been thinking about it is because I have several children at my school who serve different gods other than the one true God. They serve "lowercase 'g' gods". I serve the one and only "capitol 'G' God!" These children are very set in their ways and have obviously been taught to hate Christians and Jesus, because they talk about their hatred towards God and Christians quite often. *Heart breaks every time* But you know what? They're still kids. They still need the love that the Lord has instilled in me. I still need to love on them and show them the Love of Christ, no matter what. That job never ends. No matter what.

Also in the work place, I've found myself quite frustrated. I feel overworked and under appreciated quite often. I've stomped my fat foot and said my complaints, but at the end of the day, I'm not the boss. I don't make the decisions. No matter who does what at work, I still need to act like the God-fearing woman that I was made to be. I still need to plant seeds and pray for spiritual growth. I still need to bear the fruits of the spirit no matter what.

Folks, our job as Christians doesn't have a "Stop" or a "Pause" button. It doesn't take a nap or a break, and it doesn't get left at the door at work. It is a 24/7 job and it's easy to forget that. Let's hug more. Let's love more. Let's show Christ's love more. Let's be more proactive in our fight for the Cross. I don't mean to get preachy, but I thought I'd share what's on my heart lately.

What are your thoughts on that? How do you show love in your everyday life?

Hope your Friday evening is as relaxing and wonderful as mine! Love ya'll to pieces. I really do! God bless, my friends!
