What a blessing it is to work. To have structure and purpose for the day. Weekly projects and daily chores.To have rhythms and patterns to our life. To have tasks to do and sweat to break. To be depended upon by furred and feathered creatures. To have food to prepare and gardens to tend and bread to bake. A house to care for. Laundry to do. Floors to clean.

Work. Not a curse, but part of the purpose God gave to Adam and Eve in the garden. What would we do without it?
