>>"WHATEVER YOU DO, DO IT HEARTILY, AS TO THE LORD AND NOT TO MEN." ( 
>>COLOSSIANS 3:23 NKJV ) DO IT "AS UNTO THE LORD!" When Nicholas Herman 
>>entered the Carnelite monastery in Paris in 1666, he expected to live a 
>>life of penance because of his wild and sinful past. But instead Herman, 
>>who was given the name Brother Lawrence, found God's forgiveness and 
>>peace, plus a joy he could never have imagined. But his faith was sorely 
>>tried in the process. Clumsy by nature, he was very upset at being 
>>assigned to the monastery kitchen. Then something happened. There in his 
>>kitchen he found that evn the humblest, most mundane tasks become 
>>significant-when they're done out of love for God! In his classic little 
>>book The Practice of the Presence of God, he wrote: "The time of business 
>>does not with me differ from the time of prayer...In the noise and clatter 
>>of my kitchen while several persons are at the same time calling for 
>>different things, I possess God in as great tranquility as if I
>>were upon my knees...We ought not to be weary of doing little things, for 
>>God regards not the greatness of the work but the love with which it is 
>>performed." Talk about adding dignity to your job! So, what's the job you 
>>hate most? Cutting the grass? Doing laundry? Putting out the garbage? 
>>Walking the dog? Coming home from work tired and having to cook dinner? 
>>Caregiving? Paul said, "Whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord 
>>and not to men" ( Col 3:23 NKJV ). The truth is, there's no difference 
>>between the secular and the sacred when it's done "as to the Lord and not 
>>to men." Linda("The Prayerwarrior/Angel") (\o/) email:
