*LIKE YOUR LABOR *
* *
*COLOSSIANS 3:23-24 (NIV) \\ **23 **WHATEVER YOU DO, WORK AT IT WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AS WORKING FOR THE LORD, NOT FOR MEN, *
*24 **SINCE YOU KNOW THAT YOU WILL RECEIVE AN INHERITANCE FROM THE LORD AS A REWARD. *
*IT IS THE LORD CHRIST YOU ARE SERVING.

INTRO.-
ILL.- WHEN JOHN F. KENNEDY WAS CAMPAIGNING FOR THE PRESIDENCY
HE VISITED A COAL MINE IN WEST VIRGINIA.
ONE OF THE COAL MINERS SAID,
“MR.
KENNEDY, IS IT TRUE THAT YOU’RE THE SON
OF ONE OF THE WEALTHIEST MEN IN AMERICA?”
KENNEDY SAID, “YES, IT IS.” \\ \\ THE MAN CONTINUED, “MR.
KENNEDY, IS IT TRUE
THAT YOU’VE NEVER REALLY WANTED FOR ANYTHING
IN YOUR LIFE?”
KENNEDY SAID, “WELL, I GUESS SO.” \\ \\ THE MAN SAID, “MR.
KENNEDY, IS IT TRUE
THAT YOU’VE NEVER DONE A HARD DAY’S WORK
IN YOUR WHOLE LIFE?”
KENNEDY NODDED IN AGREEMENT.
\\ \\ THEN THE COAL MINER SAID, “MR.
KENNEDY,
I WANT TO TELL YOU SOMETHING,
*SIR** - YOU HAVEN’T MISSED A THING!” \\ * \\ \\
ILL.-
*A MAN BY THE NAME OF **BILL GOLD** SAID IT LIKE THIS: *
* *
*“I’VE MET A FEW PEOPLE IN MY TIME WHO WERE ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT HARD WORK.
*
* *
*AND IT WAS JUST MY LUCK *
*THAT EVERYONE OF THEM HAPPENED TO BE MEN *
*I WAS WORKING FOR AT THE TIME.” \\ * \\ ILL.- *ABRAHAM LINCOLN** SAID, *
*“MY FATHER TAUGHT ME TO WORK.
*
*BUT, HE DIDN'T TEACH ME TO LOVE IT.”** *
SOUNDS LIKE LINCOLN WASN’T ALL THAT THRILLED
ABOUT WORKING.
\\ ----------------------------------------------- \\ \\
EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE
THAT HAVE THAT ATTITUDE ABOUT WORK
THERE ARE ALSO PEOPLE WHO THRIVE ON WORK.
\\ \\
ILL.- DR.
CHARLES MAYO
OF THE FAMOUS MAYO CLINIC ONCE SAID,
*“THERE IS NO FUN LIKE WORK.” \\ \\ *
\\ ILL.- THOMAS EDISON SAID,
*“I NEVER DID A DAY’S WORK IN MY LIFE.
**IT WAS ALL FUN**.”
\\ * \\ ILL.- SIR THEODORE MARTIN SAID THAT,
*“WORK IS THE TRUE ELIXIR OF LIFE.
THE BUSIEST MAN IS THE HAPPIEST MAN.”

HOW MANY HERE, WOULD LIKE TO BE A NURSE?
HOW MANY OF YOU WOULD LIKE TO HAVE BEEN A NURSE
IN BACK IN 1887?
\\ \\ ILL.- THESE ARE THE DUTIES OF A NURSE IN 1887.
IN ADDITION TO CARING FOR 50 PATIENTS,
EACH NURSE HAD TO FOLLOW THESE REGULATIONS.
EVERY DAY SHE HAD TO: \\ SWEEP AND MOP THE FLOORS OF HER WARD,
SHE HAD TO DUST THE PATIENT’S FURNITURE AND WINDOW SILLS.
\\ MAINTAIN AN EVEN TEMPERATURE IN THE WARD
BY BRINGING IN A SCUTTLE OF COAL FOR THE DAY.
\\ EACH DAY SHE WAS TO FILL THE KEROSENE LAMPS,
CLEAN THE CHIMNEYS, AND TRIM THE WICKS.
SHE WAS TO WASH THE WINDOWS ONCE A WEEK.
\\ THE NURSES’ NOTES WERE IMPORTANT IN HELPING THE PHYSICIAN’S WORK.
SO SHE HAD TO MAKE HER PEN CAREFULLY;
BUT SHE WAS ALLOWED TO WHITTLE THE NIBS
TO HER INDIVIDUAL TASTE.
\\ EACH NURSE WAS TO REPORT FOR DUTY AT 7 A.M.
AND NOT LEAVE UNTIL 8 P.M.,
EXCEPT FOR THE SABBATH, WHERE SHE WAS ALLOWED TO BE OFF FROM 12 NOON TO 2 P.M. *WOW!
*
GRADUATE NURSES
IN GOOD STANDING WITH THE DIRECTOR OF NURSES
WERE GIVEN AN EVENING OFF EACH
FOR COURTING PURPOSES
OR TWO EVENINGS A WEEK IF YOU GO REGULARLY TO CHURCH.
\\ - EACH NURSE WERE SUPPOSED TO LAY ASIDE FROM THEIR PAY
A GOODLY SUM OF THEIR EARNINGS
FOR HER BENEFITS DURING HER DECLINING YEARS
SO THAT SHE WOULD NOT BECOME A BURDEN.
FOR EXAMPLE, IF SHE EARNED $30 A MONTH,
SHE SHOULD SET ASIDE $15.
\\ - ANY NURSE WHO *SMOKES*, USES *LIQUOR* IN ANY FORM,
GETS HER HAIR DONE AT A BEAUTY SHOP,
OR FREQUENTS DANCE HALLS
WILL GIVE THE DIRECTOR OF NURSES GOOD REASON
TO SUSPECT HER WORK, INTENTIONS AND INTEGRITY.
\\ - THE NURSE WHO PERFORMS HER LABORS
AND SERVES HER PATIENTS AND DOCTORS FAITHFULLY
AND WITHOUT FAULT FOR A PERIOD OF FIVE YEARS
WILL BE GIVEN AN INCREASE IN PAY OF FIVE CENTS A DAY,
PROVIDING THE HOSPITAL DOES NOT HAVE DEBTS OUTSTANDING.
\\ \\ WOW! AREN’T YOU GLAD YOU WEREN’T A NURSE IN 1887?
TALK ABOUT WORK.
THEY WORKED HARD.
\\ \\ \\
SINCE THIS IS LABOR DAY WEEKEND
I WANT TO CONSIDER A NUMBER OF BIBLICAL THOUGHTS ON THE SUBJECT OF WORK.
*I.
THE COMMAND TO WORK \\ * \\ *EXODUS 20:9 “SIX DAYS YOU SHALL LABOR AND DO ALL YOUR WORK.” \\ \\ *
\\ ILL.- *THERE WAS A PREACHER WHO WAS PREACHING *
*ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF WORK.
*
* *
*HE TOLD THE CONGREGATION THAT THEY SHOULD PRAISE GOD FOR THE OPPORTUNITY OF WORKING FOR THEIR DAILY BREAD.
\\ \\ BUT, HE ADDED *
*THAT THE LORD HAS SEEN TO IT, *
