John,
I loved this excerpt from your book Solomon’s Wisdom. You have to work in this life if you want to be happy and have what God gives you for you and your family. If you are lazy, you become a burden to yourself and everyone else around you.
I found out over time how much I like to work and how much it makes me happy. Not only does that matter in our fleshly lives but also in our spiritual life. We can’t be lazy in any part of our life, nor do I want to be. It takes work to be happy in the flesh, and it takes work to be happy in the spirit.
I have to put out effort to gain anything worth having. I am so thankful that God has blessed us with such wonderful teaching and spiritual guidance in this life. It makes you want to work and not be a burden for your family or anyone around you. That makes you happy and everyone around you happy as well.
Your labor will not go unrewarded because God made it that way for our good.
Stuart
