Doing hard things and working for God doesn't have to be boring. Following Him can actually be fun at times. It's fulfilling to know you are pleasing Him. I love the post and totally agree.

I think it makes sense to put that sign ("First we work, then we play, then we rest") on the refrigerator because I tend to be one who would regularly eat dessert as the main course. To follow the analogy, first we eat for nutrition, then we eat for fun (if we're still hungry after all the good healthy food we filled up on). Isn't this the way God designed our bodies to work?

It says, "First we work, then we play, then we rest." I had never really thought of that before... but I like it. My friend Christie has a sign on her refrigerator with a great saying.

I don't mind it when a guy keeps his hair neat or when he puts a little gel in it, but I can't stand it when they style or dye it. Auugh! But if you just keep it neat I have no problem. ;) Oh, and by the way, how do you even get the time to play video games? God Bless! Sarah :) Hey Brett,

It certainly puts things into perspective. I am 16 years old and have struggled my entire life with staying focused on hard, but worthwhile, things because I wanted to go outside and play. But that phrase of "hard things can be fun", puts things in perspective. I love school and reading, but I don't always want to do them. But I can now go into these and other acitvities that I have a hard time staying focused on praying, "God, please show me how to make the best out of this task and to make it fun, for Your glory."
