Workday thoughts...


"...whatever you do, in word or deed,
do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus,
giving thanks to God the Father through him."
~Colossians 3:17

"Christ has lifted the curse of work. 
He has replaced anxious toil with TRUST in God's promise
to supply our needs (Philippians 4:19)
and has thus awakened in us a different passion in our work.
We turn with joy to the call of Jesus: 
Seek the kingdom of God first and his righteousness
and the food that perishes will be added to you.
Labor to love people and honor God.
Think of new ways that your work can bless people.
Stop thinking mainly of profitablility,
and think mainly of how helpful your service can become."
~John Piper

    Now, not to sound bossy or anything. Ahem.
    But, Auntie Banana would love to see your gorgeous pregnant mama face (because you ABSOLUTELY are beautiful, even if your face weighs more than your unborn child, and you must trust me on this!) and a recent belly peekshure. *bats eyelashes*
