A Quote for the Day

  "Your job on earth is what you do... to get paid to take care of yourself. But your work on earth is what you do for other people." - Leah Chase, the Queen of Creole Cuisine

Charity is about giving a part of what you work for to those who need the most. It is not about demanding that everyone must eat only what resulted from their work. 

Most of the time, things work out very well just because you are in the right place, at the right time.

There are two basic ways of serving God that even active workers in the Church will have serious difficulty understanding the difference--"doing God's work" and "working for God." And either choice will reflect an important difference between our relationship with God and how we look at our work in relation to God.

Because of the inherent need for every person to work for his own keep, we tend to think that the effort we give for the return we make constitutes rewards for our labors. We forget that everything we receive even through our own labor is a mere giftss, a blessing from God who provided for everything we need. All things that contribute to the receipt of that gift take specific roles in ensuring that the gift is received. Such efficiency of divine grace is wonderful to reflect upon, and thank God for.

Freedom, democracy... these are only beginnings of an arduous work that spells L-I-F-E-T-I-M-E.
