How Do We View Employment?

Ralph E. Wagers

Whether it be a small home or a large establishment, a shop or a factory, a school or a church, there is work to be done; there are jobs to be filled, problems to be solved, and challenges to be met. Whether our part seems great or small, important or insignificant, we fill an office. Our attitude toward the office will determine how we fill it, what it does for us, and what our work accomplishes for others.

Viewed in this light, employment is more than merely a means of earning a living. It is an opportunity to express qualities, to exercise skills or talents. Our attitude or viewpoint will determine whether we approach the day's activities with a smile or a frown.

The qualities we are to express, the skills or talents we are to exercise, what is their source? To whom do they belong?
