As a young man, I did the heavy work and helped the older men not labor so hard. They always wanted the employer to hire me as well. God offers us work and we must be willing to accept what he asks. Once He asked me to substitute in the toddlers class at Suonday school. One small girl asked me why my hands were so dirty? As a roofer at the time, it was difficult to remove all the asphalt from the shingles even with the special goop that I used. It was hard to explain to her, but I did the best I could. Happy is the man or woman who learns to follow without question when God says "this is your job for today."Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09716406505904270038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8901842915517693862.post-62430342999300043562012-03-12T14:18:48.918-07:002012-03-12T14:18:48.918-07:00Hi Laurie,
