These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Finishing Well

Each job has times of fast and slow
when tough and rest compete,
but work is done, and we can go.
The home, again, we greet.

When working hard the pace is fast,
and breaks are often short.
Yet, tough times will not always last
for those in Jesus' Court.

The goal for all our earthly days
is hearing these great words,
"Well done, my child, your life's displays
are founded on your Lord."

We do not work for Heaven's Bliss.
We work for clothes and meat.
Our hearts are filled with thanks for this,
"Salvation is replete."
