What are you working on?

In case you missed this...

What are you working on?

If someone asks you that, are you excited to tell them the answer?
I hope so. If not, you're wasting away.
No matter what your job is, no matter where you work, there's a way to create a project (on your own, on weekends if necessary), where the excitement is palpable, where something that might make a difference is right around the corner.
Hurry, go do that.

I meet so many folks (even in ministry!) who answer this question with a job title not with a goal or a project. Sad, isn't it?
Trust me, life's too short. As Seth Godin points out, you need to solve this one...now.
Oh and don't make the mistake of assuming that the way you make a difference has to be the way you pay your bills.

Church, Honor Your Leaders (a meditation on 1 Thessalonians 5:12-13)

Dear brothers & sisters, always -- but especially at this time of year -- honor the leaders who are working so hard for you, those whom God has given responsibility for urging and guiding you along in your obedience to Him. Overwhelm them with appreciation and love!

You'll never know how demanding their work can be or the price they pay for their service; never pass up an opportunity to show them that their efforts among you are not wasted. Embrace them and their families so that even those who came to you as strangers will have no doubt about your love and welcome.

Also make sure each of you does your part to get along among yourselves--when you don't, it makes leadership a burden you can't imagine.

 

God be with you and bless you all! -- db
