Expressing Peace. Work. 56.
Peace of Work
Work. As much as we resist it, complain about it, feel oppressed by it, work really is (can be) a source of peace.
That we have work to do, gratifies. It gives us opportunity to earn an income or tend to family or create a product. Work gives us security.
That we can do the work we have, pleases. It makes us a contributor. We may contribute to the operations of a company, the wellness of a patient, the management of our home, or the sale of a product. Work lets us contribute.
That the work we do calls on our skills and knowledge, motivates. We get to exert our physical and mental energies. We may sometimes have to raise the bar and exert still more. Work satisfies our self-worth.
Recall the pleasure from a specific task that’s part of your work. Perhaps washing the dishes or greeting the customer or hammering the nail or answering the student’s question or sending the e-mail. If you allowed yourself a moment’s reflection of “I did it.” following the task, you likely felt a personal peace.
If you didn’t (or don’t) allow yourself the moment’s reflection, you miss many peace opportunities.
Peace Provider,
thank you that we have work to do.
Thank you that our skills and talents
find good use in the tasks and assignments we complete.
Thank you that we can be proud
of what we do, how well we do it,
and that it matters.
However it matters.
Thank you that our efforts please us,
our success excites us,
and our desire to be and do better
motivates us.
Thank you for the days – perhaps the every day –
when we are glad to head to work;
when we are glad the day fulfills us
by what we offer, make or share;
when we are glad to put away our tools
and head for home.
And so it is. And so we thank you, GOD.
Amen. Amen.
Enjoy Peace. Express Peace.
