Satisfaction of work

9/6/05 Exchange Club prayer of Dad’s    Our heavenly Father,  for the opportunity and satisfaction of work and labor in a free nation we give you our thanks. Sustain and support those who are without work this day & those who are homeless and hungry. Give them hope and encouragement.  Amen

Seems strange to shoot a photo on a washing machine. Maybe. But when I read these words, I pictured some of the people suffering in Harvey’s aftermath unable to even do something as simple as wash their clothes. I am so far removed from discomfort of that scale.

Today I am grateful for my pile of laundry and the tools in my basement that accomplish the task. I have much to be grateful for. That is satisfaction, knowing I have what I need. No more. No less.
