work

working is freedom
i heard a song at the Bluebird Cafe' last night
a song called "Jobs"
it spoke of the daily grind
as opposed to the pie in the sky dream jobs
he sang about the jobs that no one wants
and how these jobs pay the bills
thankful to have one
the catechism speaks highly of work
how important it is to the well being of souls
we are made in the image of God
creative to the bone
hungry for fruit
for accomplishment
for purpose
and as we follow behind Jesus,
in all this,
we can learn the simple beauty of work
all the while learning to love more deeply
all the while learning to trust more fervently
all the while learning to seek His will with abandon
