The Gift of Work

I have always liked The Ultimate Gift, a movie based off a book by Jim Stovall. In this movie

A billionaire’s great nephew is a spoiled, entitled young man who values little in life. He has everything he wants, spends lavishly and has little to do with his family, no real friends, no cares or goals to speak of other than select hedonistic pursuits. He’s an empty vessel filling his personal void with with luxuries but he doesn’t realize how miserable he is because he’s never known anything else.

Upon his death, the billionaire (“Red”) leaves his great nephew Jason an inheritance, of sorts. In order to earn it, he must learn twelve lessons—gifts—over the coming year. If he fails at any point to fulfill the requirements, as determined by the executor of the estate, he loses everything.

Jason's first real gift is to learn "the privilege and satisfaction that comes from doing an honest day’s work.”

I think I take this for granted, being a recent college grad, I had worked through shool and get that hard work is necessary for a good future. I just don't think it's really clucked in for me that work is something to appreciate.

For me it is a means to and end, something forced upon us that is tiring and inconvenient. Two of us really wouldn't want to go outside and hang out with people, share in experiences and making memories? But work teaches us things like valuing time, money, family, and the things we take for granted when we don't have them in moderation.

I for one grew up isolated and never really had a need for anything. I was an employee void just filling the with sleep and entertainment.

Having worked through college, I think work taught me to appreciate not only that and relationships but also taught me to value my own will and the skills God has given me.

When I work this month, I want to do so joyfully. I want to do my best foryself and others. I want to honor God through my work. No matter what kind of work I am doing.
