Labor Day Retreat

It's May 1. LABOR DAY. All throughout the world people are having a great time taking a break. Oxymoron? Labor day yet A public holiday.

Since time immemorial, man has been toiling in his fields. Why - consequence of Man's decision to choose his way not HIS WAYS! I am forced to quote scripture in this discussion:

17 GOD said to Adam, because you listened to your wife and ate from the tree about which I commanded you, 'You must not eat of it,' "Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat of it all the days of your life. 18 It will produce thorns and thistles for you, and you will eat the plants of the field. 19 By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return."

If only.... But don't be disheartened. The solution is GOD in HIMSELF. Follow Jesus and HE will lead your path straight.

Today, I just came back after a joyous retreat with leaders in our local religious affiliation. For one thing, after reflecting on all the lessons on leadership we were taught, my belief now hinges even more to follow Christ!

And I believe, the solution to end all work is to trust GOD and lean not on your own understanding!

Have a talent? Offer to GOD -and HE will bless you even more!
