What Get's You Through?

As some of you may or may not know, I started a new job on February 6, 2012. I am working at The Suter Company as an assembler. I work on an assembly line and it moves VERY fast. The job is very labor intensive. I don't know if it's because I have been off for over a year and a half and I am not used to it. Or if it really is that intense. We work ten hours a day for four days. With an occasional Friday mixed in when neccesary.

I worked a different line this week than I usually do. I worked with a much younger guy and he asked me this question. "What get's you through?" "Everybody has something to get them through the day, what's your thing?" I thought for a moment and then replied "dude, I pray all day." He didn't believe me. He could not believe that someone would pray all day at a job.

I pray that God will give me the strength to do the job. I pray that He will make me fast and accurate (which hasn't worked out so well as of yet.) I pray that He'll give me the ability and the wisdom to do the job.

Then I give thanks. Thank You God for giving me the strength. Thank You for my back holding up. Thank You for my arms and legs to be able to withstand the beating they take throughout  the long day! Thank Your for giving me a job! Thank You for healing my body everynight, so that when I wake up I don't feel as sore as when I went to bed! Lord I thank You and praise You for every single thing that You do for me while I am at work.

All Praise and Glory to God forever and ever!! AMEN!!
