"I am tired after another long full day."
A year later I could say the same thing about today. We got started early and finished late. The range of situations we dealt with were diverse. Both personal and business lines were blurred and bled over into each other. Not everything was clean and nice. We dealt with a lot of mess all the while wondering if we were doing the right things.
I find comfort in looking at the life of Jesus. He had long days, missed meals, prayed a lot and even slept in the middle of a storm. The messes He dealt with weren't just the sick and demon possessed but also from those of His company. The wonderful thing about Jesus life and ministry is that those messes became the message.
If your days are long and life feels like a drag know that your labor is not in vain. The prayers and hard work will pay off. All the effort and energy you spend on faith, family, business, and people will be rewarded. The fact that you're tired means that you have been living.
How do you keep going when you feel like life is a grind? What sense of accomplishment is there when you feel tired from a long days work?
