The Value of Work

We had chores as children; sometimes we grumbled at times, but we grew up into people who learned to enjoy working; it is our entertainment. There is no greater joy than accomplishing something.

God gave Adam and Eve the garden to tend because we were made to enjoy the fruit of our labor. Just as God was pleased with His work at the end of the six days, He made us to enjoy the accomplishments of our labor.
 
Ecclesiastes 5:18-20
"18 Here is what I have seen to be good and fitting: to eat, to drink, and enjoy oneself in all one’s labor in which he labors under the sun during the few years of his life which God has given him; for this is his reward.
 
19 Furthermore, as for every person to whom God has given riches and wealth, He has also given him the opportunity to enjoy them and to receive his reward and rejoice in his labor; this is the gift of God.
 
20 For he will not often call to mind the years of his life, because God keeps him busy with the joy of his heart."

God has been so good to provide work for those who will see the value in it!
