The Blessing of Work

I was listening to repeated conference talks on KBYU while embroidering some flour sack dish towels the other day and loved hearing this - I can't claim it's an exact quote, my fading memory, but close...

Opportunity is missed by most because it is often dressed in overalls and looks like work.

Just passing along a little thought for the day. It will make me glad. Whenever I get to thinking about the drudgery of work I remind myself-I have a HOUSE to clean. I have a FAMILY that needs feeding. I have a WASHING MACHINE to do the clothes washing. I have CLOTHES. I have FOOD to purchase or cook. I have a GARDEN to supply some vegetable and flowers to weed, tend or water. Counting blessings and not grumbling so much. I will look at work as an opportunity.
