How truly rich I am

I have shared with folks that, at work, I have been busier the last few years than I have ever been in my career. Now, I don't know if that is because I have taken on more, or because I am getting older and slower. It is probably a combination of the two.

It is good to be busy. Now, we can all find ourselves too busy from time to time, but, the truth is, I function and, if you will, behave better when I am busy. I like to be productive and doing things. I like accomplishing things, finishing things, seeing things through. I have never been much of one for sitting and doing nothing, though I am sure those days are coming.

Today's word is Proverbs 10:4, NLT, which reads, "Lazy people are soon poor; hard workers get rich."

You may be thinking, "Hey, I work HARD, and I am not rich." But, you are. If you work hard, and are able to, you are rich in physical ways that other folks wish they were. There are lots of folks that would love to be physically able to get up in the morning and go to work. But, unfortunately, they are unable to. So, if you are able to work, you are most definitely rich.

And, if you are able to work and accomplish things and finish things, you get a sense of fulfillment that money cannot buy. It is truly a blessing and a satisfaction and a wealth in being able to work and do things. Plus, you are setting an example for those watching you, letting them see how they, too, can be equally "wealthy". When, I really sit down and think about it, and count my blessings, I can see how truly rich I am.

Be Blessed,
