Alyssa begins her internship today! Oh that is such a praise in this mom's (and dad's) heart, I can't even begin to tell you! She will be getting her first taste of what it is like to "go to work". We even had to go out this weekend to buy some semi-dressy work clothes.
I'm sure that this job isn't something she will be doing for the rest of her life, but I pray it's a time of learning some great lessons, and finding that there is a satisfaction that comes when one works hard.
Get those hands dirty, girl! I'm praying for you.
Lord, bless the work of Alyssa and Kyle's hands. May they not eat the bread of idleness (Prov. 31:27). Lazy hands make a man poor, but diligent hands bring wealth (Prov. 10:4). We do not want them to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised (Hebrews 6:12). The sluggard's craving will be the death of him, because his hands refuse to work (Prov. 21:25). A man can do nothing better than to eat and drink and find satisfaction in his work (Ecc. 2:24). Whatever their hand finds to do, I pray that they do it with all their might (Ecc. 9:10) May Alyssa and Kyle make it their ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind their own business and to work with their hands, so that their daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that they will not be dependent on anybody (1 Thess. 4:11-12) Above all, may they lift up their hands in the sanctuary and praise you, Lord. (Psalm 134:2)
