Professional Inspirations #5 - Work and Family

Psa 25:4-5 Make your ways known to me, O LORD, and teach me your paths. (5) Lead me in your truth and teach me because you are God, my savior. I wait all day long for you.

WORK & FAMILY

Exo 20:9 You have six days to do all your work.

Do we not spend most of our life time at work to provide a living for our family? i.e. spending a lot of time and energy trying to earn enough money to pay for the home mortgage, the bills and to buy the things our family needs?

Is it not then also true that by the time we've finished working, there's barely enough time left at the end of the day, week, month to actually spend time with the family we're working so hard for.

The key to a simple life filled with love and joy is to build a work life balance that doesn't exclude those people nearest to your heart. 1Ti 5:8 If anyone doesn't take care of his own relatives, especially his immediate family, he has denied the Christian faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

Join together as a family in prayer and ask God for some guidance as you begin to develop your plan for a healthy work/life balance.

Look for ways you can find pleasure and joy from the simple things in life and you'll find your priorities begin changing all on their own.

Rom 12:9-10 GW Love sincerely. Hate evil. Hold on to what is good. (10) Be devoted to each other like a loving family. Excel in showing respect for each other

Finish Strong!!

Enjoy the day. Many many blessings I pray the Lord does grant you.
