By faith Moses, when he became of age, refused to be called the son of Pharaohs daughter, choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin, esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he looked to the reward. Hebrews 11:24-26

TGIF: Thank God It's Friday! For most of us, Friday is a day we look forward to during the work week. It's the last work day before the weekend....a period of rest and time spent with family and friends. Friday is also payday for many people. You could say Friday is our reward day after a long week of hard work.  

As Christians, we have a "reward" day. That day when we cross over from this sinful world and it's pain and suffering to our Heavenly home where pain, suffering and sadness don't exist. Most of us aren't ready to cross the bridge just yet. Maybe you want to enjoy more time with family and see your children grow up or you realize there is still much to do for the Lord. 

There is no time off from life. We all have important things to do....but our main focus should be serving the Lord. Helping others, spending time with the elderly, sharing the good news of Christ with the people around us. The list of things is endless...but we should always continue to be a reflection of Christ in our words and actions. That is our "labor for the Lord". Are you serving Him completely? 

December is a good time to start. There is so much need this time of year. Find ways to serve, help others or simply love on someone who needs a smile and warm touch. It will mean so much to the person impacted by your act of kindness and love. Your reward day is coming...keep working towards that day and find blessings along the journey. God bless friend.
