Surviving the Workday

“It’s in giving that we receive.”
-Prayer of St. Francis, 13th century saint

If you are like many people on Earth, you work for fulfillment, for community, for stimulation, and most of all, for money. It’s necessity.

Candace Chellew-Hodge, editor of Whosoever , reflects on her relationship with money in her essay, It’s in the Giving that We Receive.

Do not be confused. I am not preaching a prosperity gospel here. I am not preaching that you give to get - for that is what the prosperity preachers tell you: “If you do this, God will do that.” No, do not misunderstand….

God may indeed bring money or material success into your life if you banish thoughts of lack, but God may also bring in more intangible things - love, kindness, friendship, community, a sense of well-being, a sense of personal fulfillment.
