Work while you work...

I heard this quote from a speaker at MOPS a few years ago, and I love it to remind my kids about doing their work doing school time. It may be a good one for you to print out too!

Work while you work, 

Play while you play;

This is the way

To be happy each day.

All that you do,

Do with all your might;

Things done by halves

Are never done right.

Reminds me of this verse:

Colossians 3:22-24

Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything; and do it, not only when their eye is on you and to curry their favor, but with sincerity of heart and reverence for the Lord. Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters,  since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.

1 Chronicles 28:20
David also said to Solomon his son, “Be strong and courageous, and do the work. Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord God, my God, is with you. He will not fail you or forsake you until all the work for the service of the temple of the Lord is finished.


Psalm 90:17
May the favor of the Lord our God rest on us; establish the work of our hands for us— yes, establish the work of our hands.
