As I sit here thinking about different jobs I have had and different ones that my friends and family have had I thought how there must be many many jobs around the world and I am sure there are some that we sheltered people in the USA cannot even think about. However other things came to mind and I am putting them here and sending them on their way for you to ponder.
THOUGHTS ON WORK
Rest for a woodcutter might
be sitting and reading.
Rest for a Teacher might be
cutting a cord of wood.
Rest for a cattle rancher is
going grocery shopping.
Rest for a grocer is spending
the weekend on a horse.
Rest for a traveling salesman
is sitting in a chair at home
After a home cooked meal.
Rest for his wife (who is at
home all week) is going for
A ride and then out to eat.
Rest for an author is working
in a wood shop.
Rest for a carpenter is
reading a good book non-stop.
Work for a child is putting
toys away.
Work for a parent happens
EVERYDAY.
Some work with their minds
and some just talk.
Some sit at a desk and never
walk.
Some times in this life we
try to shirk.
It seems to me that work, may
not be work.
What is work for one is play
for another.
Work for a sister may not be
work for a brother.
Our pioneer forefathers
worked all the day long.
Then went home in the evening
to sing a song.
Our work today is usually
eight to five,
Then we drag ourselves home,
barely alive.
It has always been very
strange to me,
That we work harder at things
that we do for free.
For Family and Church we work
like a flash
And never worry about getting
the cash.
If we did all our work, and
did not worry,
About who was the one to get
all the glory,
Things would be better in
this world of ours.
We could then just kick-back
and enjoy what is ours.
