My first day back to work after vacation is done and over. It wasn't as bad as I had dreaded. Of course I still have to deal with the unorganization of things that people would rather neglect and push off to the next person. Doesn't really bother me though. I love working hard. The Bible tells me that whatever I work at to work at it with all my heart.
In my morning devotions I read about finding something good in every circumstance. No matter how my day goes I can turn my thoughts to thankfulness. One thing might come against me but I don't let it ruin my day. I think of better things. For example; I grabbed my pay check from last week at the end of the day expecting a big check with overtime pay. What I got was a normal run of the mill 40 hour pay check. I was upset at first and disappointed. Also, my supervisor said there is no more overtime to put in. Instead of letting this make me crabby for the rest of the day I started to thank the Lord for what I had. Don't you think God looks at us with pleasure when we find reasons to be thankful (1 Thes. 16-18). Thankfulness finds something good in every circumstance.

Wow, i can't believe that. I remembder that we were not to get overtime too, because there wasn't any money to do so. But I continued to work my job with overtime that I knew I would not be paid for. Just because I thought it was what the Lord wanted me to do. He wanted me to be the very best at work, and give of by best. I know it didn't go unnoticed by HR and the CEO.
