But, my family inspired (demanded?) a strong work ethic that continues many years later. Probably my biggest problem now is balancing work and other pursuits that are also important.

I'm sure it is difficult to make yourself stop and rest because the enemy will tell you that you are neglecting your congregation. I hope you find the rest you need. Thanks for sharing.

When I think about the Labor Day holiday, I often remember the wonderful getaways my wife and I used to go on all around the U.S. Another scripture I think of on these occasions is Luke 10:7.

You'd think a pastor would get this, but the truth is most pastors lean toward the "running our bodies and minds into exhaustion" side of your warning. There's no time for sloth, but we need to be reminded to rest.

Being a wife and mom means much of my work is thankless and unappreciated. I used to get bitter about it, but realized that God sees me, my work is for Him.
