    Some of our favorite quotes on work this week:
    "The major work of the world is not done by geniuses.
    It is done by ordinary people, with balance in their lives,
    who have learned to work in an extraordinary manner".
    President Gordon B. Hinckley. [“Our Fading Civility,” Brigham Young University inauguration and spring commencement exercises, 25 April 1996, 15]

    "We are becoming the world experts in
    meeting, thinking, planning, and organizing
    about working the work,
    but we need to do it.
    We need to work."
    F. David Stanley “The Principle of Work” April 1993

     “Let us realize that the privilege to work is a gift,
    that power to work is a blessing,
    that love of work is success”
    President David O. McKay. (Pathways to Happiness [Salt Lake City: Bookcraft, 1957], 381).

    Our Learning focus for the month: Work
    Week 2: How can we find more purpose and meaning in ANY work?
    Challenge: Start your day inviting God into your work.

    "You and I also have a work to accomplish. Satan would tempt us to believe that our work is not worthwhile or that we have no need to work at all. He is wrong on both counts. We do have a need to work."  Blessing of Work David E. Sorenson March 2005 Devotional

    "
    There is a world of difference when you wake up each morning knowing you are working for the Lord not for men (or for promotion or recognition, overtime, or other allowances). Doing what you do for and with God gives your life and toil a meaning." 5 Biblical Principles on Work Christian Church in Kenya

    This week we talk all about how to find the purpose and meaning in ANY work, -even laundry!
    We share our lists from last week on "Why we work" and Emily goes rogue and shares her "TOO much Work" list and together we discuss how these lists are impacting our lives and changing our perception of what work is and how we are making work,  -work for us!
