I think for some people “a calling” can be spiritual, humanitarian, work, or family. These are four attributes I strive to have in my life. I would actually like to add 2 side dishes to that list; health and finance. I usually reflect once or twice every year and look to see if I am still keeping up with the big 6. Overall I'm doing pretty good, but although my priorities should always be family at the top of the list, sometimes I forget and make work the lead focus. It's sad, but my defense is that I need to work to be able to provide for my family. See there I go again; forgetting my priorities, cause God should be at the top of the list.
My Bishop at church gave a great talk and he said that work does not define who you are. Obviously I think that is true, and I'm not going to argue his point. I guess we need to tell ourselves that our passion at work is our callings so we can comfortably put energy into something that brings us joy. Landscaping gives me a sense of purpose that I don't find anywhere else. That doesn't mean the others aren't important, because they are in fact, more so. So why am I obsessed with Landscaping so much? Possibly because I own the business and it’s nice to do something you love and not having too take orders from anyone. Or it could be that working outdoors brings me closer to God. Most of the time i’m out there working if i’m not listening to music, I’m thinking about Him. Asking myself if i’ve got what it takes to someday be with there with him. I usually answer myself with, well are you good to your family, is your faith really strong, and do you help others?
P.S I do think we are going to be doing some good landscaping in the next life.
