Made me wonder...especially since that seems to encapsulate what work is like...on a daily basis!!
The past week has been pretty breezy for me...however, my colleagues have all been going through a really really tough time....some of them have exploded in exasperation and frustration...some have broken down....others just suffer quietly with exhaustion......
it was really sad seeing what used to be kinda cheerful people grumbling and complaining.....and i thought of what Jesus would have said at our attitude?!? and for me....i just get sucked into the vortex of complaining as well.....till God convicted me a few days ago....
really struck me that I am there for a reason...to be an encourager and a supporter......to help and to share His word......and its amazing how He gives opportunity to share our faith....like having coffee with a non Christian colleague on a saturday afternoon talking about life and death and what our religious belief were....
take home pointers from the sermon?!?
1) Patience
2) Perseverance
3) Perception
Above it all.....we need to have a spirit of thanksgiving in every circumstance we are in...good or bad! ;)
" Be patient, then, brothers, until the Lord's coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop and how patient he is for the autumn and spring rains. You too, be patient and stand firm, because the Lord's coming is near. Don't grumble against each other, brothers, or you will be judged." James 5: 7 - 9
