work is one thing in my life that i find difficult to weave through the rest of life. it’s so easy to keep it separate. here is a quote from a book called “Living The Christian Year” that i greatly appreciated.
“God gave us the capacity to work… and God gave us the responsibility to work, that is, to cultivate and develop the unlimited potential of his good creation…work had become difficult and distorted by sin – often rife with greed exploitation,corruption – but it has not ceased to be good. God is honored by every human endeavor that comports with his good purposes fr humanity and creation… [by] holding a job, we participate in the capricious acts of God to redeem all things – persons, cultures, environments. As theologian Miroslav Volf asserts, ‘The noble products of human ingenuity, ‘whatever is beautiful, true and good in human cultures’, will be cleansed from impurity, perfected and transfigured to become a part of God’s new creation’ (231).”
