"Vacation is officially over. Tonight I sleep in my own bed. We are unpacked and ready for the week. It is nice to be home."
I have read many blogs on the importance of taking a vacation. I agree. We need to stop and rest every now and then.
There comes a time after the rest where we have to get back to work. When we go back to work our efforts are greater, our resolve stronger and our people are as glad we are back as we are to be back.
That can only happen when you enjoy what you do. For some they think that you have to switch jobs in order for this to happen. I would say that you have to love God for this to happen. When you work as unto the Lord you will find enjoyment and satisfaction in your work.
So go on vacation, play hard, and then come home, and work hard.
How do you feel about your job? How can we work as unto the Lord?

Day 36 - Compassion
"There was a guy that wanted to wash our windshield on our car for money who I found out was in the process of an SPT at church. I invited him back to church and then watched as the employee asked him to leave the parking lot. We minister in a tough city. It is interesting to me how many people pass through our church. And probably not just our church but all the churches."
Tonight my wife preached a great message about Good Works. We don't do good works to be noticed or to feel good but because we are displaying the love of God. I found it appropriate that this was in my journal from last year on this day.
One of the motivations for our good works is a compassion for people. I remember talking with this guy in the parking lot and really wanting him and his wife to get back to church. I knew he would grow and be helped if he would put in the effort to come. It broke my heart to watch as an employee of the store we were at ask him to leave.
Church is a place where all are welcome. We open the door with loving acts of service. In other words, good...works.
How can we have compassion on others? what are some practical good works we can do to reach others?
