Morning Inspiration with James Merritt
One of the greatest lessons you will ever teach your kids is that all work is valuable. All work can and should be done for the glory of God. The sum of the matter is found in this simple statement: "In all labor there is profit". (Proverbs 14:23)
One day your kids will decide what their life's vocation is going to be. As they make this crucial decision you would do well to teach them that the very word "vocation" comes from the Latin word "vocare" meaning "to call". Every honorable vocation, regardless of what it is, is a calling from God.
Martin Luther King Jr. rightly declared, "Not all men are called to specialized or professional jobs; even fewer to the heights of genius in the arts and sciences; many are called to be laborers in factories, fields and streets. But no work is insignificant."
