| Taking a Break from Work |
|
D: Did you ever take a break when your boss was not looking?
V: Actually, I don¡¯t think so.
D: Well, this morning¡¯s Power for Today author talks about his ¡°undeclared¡± (or unannounced) break after he had moved a ¡°stack of pallets.¡±
V: What is a ¡°stack of pallets¡±?
D: A ¡°pallet¡± is a big wooden frame flat box onto which one can store things. A ¡°stack¡± means a ¡°pile.¡±
V: That must have been a big job for the author. No wonder he was tired.
D: I think he was. But he took a break without asking permission from his boss.
V: So, that is why the boss was ¡°irritated¡± (or mad) at him.
D: Right. The author says that he learned a good lesson about always doing one¡¯s best.
V: Yes. We should do our best even when the boss is not there.
D: Jesus talked about the same thing in his ¡°parable¡± of the talents.
V: A ¡°parable¡± is a story that has a ¡°moral¡± (or special meaning for life).
D: The word ¡°talent¡± in the ancient world was a type of money.
V: In the story that Jesus told, the business man gave his ¡°employees¡± (or workers) some talents. Some used them well. Others were lazy and did nothing with them.
D: And the word ¡°talent¡± in English also means a special skill given by God.
V: So, I think today¡¯s lesson is important. The author reminds us that we should always do our best.
D: As he says, ¡°How tempting it is to take an undeclared break from the Kingdom business.¡±
V: But our King will come back sometime and ask us how we used the talents he gave us.
D: Maybe today. Have a good one! |
