QUIET LIFE

Snippet

Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.”

― Confucius

Scripture

And in fact, you do love all of God’s family throughout Macedonia. Yet we urge you, brothers and sisters, to do so more and more, 11 and to make it your ambition to lead a quiet life: You should mind your own business and work with your hands, just as we told you, 12 so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody. 1 Thessalonians 4:10-12

Song

Wichita Lineman by Glen Campbell

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QynK5IDalmA

I am a lineman for the county

And I drive the main road

Searchin' in the sun for another overload

I hear you singin' in the wire,

I can hear you through the whine

And the Wichita lineman is still on the line

I know I need a small vacation

But it don't look like rain

And if it snows that stretch down south won't ever stand the strain

And I need you more than want you,

And I want you for all time

And the Wichita lineman is still on the line

And I need you more than want you,

And I want you for all time

And the Wichita lineman is still on the line

Sentence Prayer

Jesus, you knew rejection and disappointment;

Help us if our work seems distasteful;

Help us to decide what best to do.

What next to do.

Or what to do at all.

Give us courage and cheerfulness to go the second mile

And all the miles ahead.

Amen (A New Zealand Prayer Book  the Anglican Church in Aotearoa pg 130)
