The Privilege to Work is...

A Gift.

The Power to Work is a Blessing.

The Love of Work is Success. 
 - President David O'McKay




I ran across this Quote on my Boss' Desk a few weeks ago & Loved it.
Their is so much Truth in it. 
As I've pondered about this quote over these last few weeks, I've thought to myself

What is "Work"? 

- Does it Bring you Money?
- Does it Bring you Happiness?
- Does it Bring you Frustration?

The answers are "Yes"

 Work comes in all different kinds of forms....
My most Important Work is my Family - raising my Children.


-Does it bring me Money?
"No"
{but, it Does Bring me Blessings!}

-Does it Bring me Happiness?
"Yes"

-Does it Bring me Frustration?
"Yes"

This past month 3 out of the 4 Kids & Tom have gone back to school.
 I have been reminded
everyday
since then, that I have a child with Asperger's Syndrome. (AS)

He has his challenges. 
{don't we all?!}

We are dealing with a New School & a New School District.
Therefore we get the "Privilege"
to start the paper work (testing process) all over again
because the Districts don't share "files" with each other. 

It has been a "Process." (sigh)

I am learning so much through this Process - "Work" though... Blessing!
I feel like the Lord is preparing me (& Tom, of course) for when we move to another State for
Graduate School & we get to do this "Work" once again. 
(Hey, the 3rd time is a Charm right?!)


Tom is doing Fabulous in School.
Seriously, I don't know how he does all his
"Work"
that is required of him now that he is in this Scholar Program.
Did I mention he is also Tutoring 3 Students too?!

He is my SUPER HERO!

My Kids & Family bring me so much Joy & Happiness it tends to make
Life's Frustrations
& Other "Work" that needs to be done not so bad.



I'm so Grateful for the "Work" that I get to do while I'm on this Earth.
Raising Kids, being a Mother & Wife,
The "Privilege" of Owning & Running my own Modest Clothing Business
&
Loving the "Work."

PS: We bought a Van!
