October 4, 2006

Good Morning! We have been given the opportunity to show our attitude towards service here at our workplace. All exempt employees at the Corporate HQ must serve 3 consecutive days at the Retail store or Distribution Center this holiday season. Will we do our best to serve our employer or will we cry and moan about it every step of the way? It is never easy to do something you don’t want to do, especially when it is sprung upon you and mandatory. In serving our employer, and thus serving the Lord, we do not always get to choose between two things that we want to do, sometimes neither choice may be to our liking. Of course in this country at least, we can always choose to end our employment. However, unless you feel that this is an opportunity from God to move on to something else, you may be disobedient and rebellious in taking that step. Sometimes God does use the dreaded lay-off to let a person know that it is time to move on; to give us another opportunity to glorify his name. Usually, a short tasking that we may view in a bad light is but another test which we can use to show our love for the Lord and those things which he has put over us in this world. As for the people here, some will endure the task as an indignity, some will try to escape with some reason or other, some will endure in good cheer, others will prepare physically and mentally to enjoy the break from their normal jobs, and some of us will make up our minds to glorify God by putting in our best effort, no matter what the task at hand. We always have a choice; at times we may need some help to realize the options that are available.

Service with a smile, to God be the Glory!
