Thoughts On Working Long Hours
Last week, I quickly posted my thoughts on working long days.
Lately, my job (my “real” job) has me and my co-workers working upwards to twelve hours per day including weekends. Through all of this working two thoughts have come to mind:
- I have a new-found respect for men/women who work these long hours on a regular basis.
- “Sometimes when we ask God for a harvest he gives us a handful of seeds. Stop expecting a handout, & do some work.”
In fact, it is normal for them to pull 50+ hours per week. I’m used to 40 hours even. No more. No less. But I’m learning that these long hours are tiring, but sometimes necessary.
God gave me this thought on July 4th. What’s funny is that God knows I could use the extra cash so he’s given me an opportunity to work extra hours to get overtime pay. Wow! God’s got a wicked sense of humor.
