Work sometimes has a bad reputation in our world.But there is something
worse than work,and that is boredom.At least that is what Drs.Kathryn
Rost and G.Richard Smith of the University of Arkansas say.After analyzing
the mental health of heart attack survivors,they concluded that one factor
which greatly reduced the chances of depression was going back to work.
And why not?At work we are often around friends,and people with strong
relationships will almost always fare better mentally.But we humans also
need to be useful and productive!
Arthur Kroeger wrote in Quote magazine (August 1994) that his brother
sometimes visited an Anabaptist colony in southern Alberta,Canada.During
one visit he asked leaders how they dealt with the problem of misbehavior -
when people rebelled against the colony's strict rules.He was told that
these people were first asked to correct their behavior.If they did not
respond,they would be given a stern "talking to."
"But what do you do when all else fails,when somebody stubbornly refuses to
behave?" he pressed.
"Ah," came the reply,"if it comes to that,then we don't give him anything
to do."
The ultimate punishment - don't give them any work!If that doesn't sound so
bad,just ask those who are unemployed how they feel about not working.
It has been wisely said,"The Lord didn't burden us with work,but rather
blessed us with it." We need to be busy and productive.
Whatever it is you do to make a living - be grateful.Those long hours and
that feeling of exhaustion at the end of the day come from having something
useful to do.Your work is a gift.You are blessed.
