A thought came to mind one day, early in our mission work, while I was working with the team helping build Joseline’s house. The work was quite demanding. I just finished hauling a bunch of mud bricks that weighed about 30 pounds each to the masons who were framing up the walls. I wondered quietly, when during your time on earth are we finished doing God’s work? This question that that tugged at my consciousness was more than likely posed because I was exhausted and I felt I knew first hand how difficult sometimes it can be doing God’s work. Fortunately I knew the answer before I finished asking myself the question. We are never finished doing God’s work. The beautiful thing about doing God’s work is at the end of the day it always leaves us wanting to do more. We realize the reward we receive far outweighs the benefit we give. So tonight I will go to sleep. But my alarm is set. See you in the morning.
