24 Diligent hands will rule,
but laziness ends in forced labor.
I feel like this is a lesson I want Luke to hear and learn. He is one that will do anything I ask of him without fuss. But he is also comfortable not doing anything until told. I fear he is not developing the work ethic that will get him where he wants to go in life.
This verse shows that irony. Oddly the ones who appear to be always at work may in the end feel less at work than the ones who were lazy and at some point find themselves at the mercy of those who were always plugging along.
again not sure I'm pulling out the right message but this is what caught my eye.

I'm behind. Work is killing me right now.....but, I love what you wrote.
ReplyDeleteI am going to use it with my boys tonight. I have the same fears as you. Only I'm not sure I could say that my kids do what I ask of them. They grumble a lot and seem super lazy most of the time.
sometimes i get grumbling too. lazy is my concern. I pray our boys can find their passion and it helps overcome any tendency to be lazy.
