This Morning...
During my bible study with my hubby this morning, the Lord spoke gently about something I thought I would share. I have studied, listened and read time and time again about how the Lord views our work, etc. Today is hit me a little different. Jason leads a Kingdom Advisors group and he wanted to share the video with me this morning during our morning time together. Ken Boa was the speaker. He made several comments on work. How do we work and do we work for ourself or for the Lord. He talked about going to visit an old catherdral with statues from 700 years ago. They just happened to be moved and cleaned that particular day. He watched the men move them back into place. He saw that the statues were carved just as perfectly on the back as they were the front. They knew when they were made that they would be tucked back into a corner and people would never see the back. It struck him that although this was the case, the artist crafted them perfectly all the way around. This made me really start thinking. How often do I work all the way around something and complete it to perfection. I feel that although the Lord does not expect perfection out of us, He wants us to complete something all the way around, even if it isn't going to be seen on the back! I don't know if this makes sense to anyone else, but it just really made me think. I want to work for Him, not just for myself and just to get it done!

That is so good. I'd love to email you something about that. It's too long to post here....maybe I'll post it on my blog...but I could email you too. It even applies more to motherhood. It's real good.
That verse in Col. 3:23 is one that I will soon talk with my kids about and have them memorize (as Austin starts school). I hope to learn more about it as they learn too. Thanks for sharing. Love you Tam, Jody
yeah, that's cool. It makes me think of a definition of Integrity - "who you are when no one is looking". Doing the right thing all the time and for the right reasons, knowing we are doing it as for the Lord and not for man. Good Stuff!
love you girl - Jenny
