"Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearer."  Ephesians 4:29  NKJV

The famous 'Back to Work Syndrome'. Whether this is after a weekend off, a holiday or a period of sick leave, it can be difficult, for some, to negotiate.
The feelings manifest around Sunday tea time and can ruin the whole evening. It's a feeling that is common to all, Christian or non Christian- employed or self-employed. For some people it causes depression, irritation and bad moods. It could be the job that we're not happy with, but its more likely to be there whatever we do.

We can start whinging on about it; saying things that do nothing to make ourselves, or whoever is listening to us, feel better or edified. There are some solutions to this problem. Let's take a look at the list:

(1). Give your job up
      This is not a good idea as you have bills to pay
(2). Get a new job
      This is not as easy as it sounds, and chances are you'll feel the same way about all of 
      this in a few weeks
(3). Retire
      This is difficult if you're only in your 30's or 40's
(4). Win the Lottery
      You've got about as much chance as singing a duet with Frank Sinatra and he's been 
      dead for years
(5). Rob a bank
      Again, not a good idea as you'll probably spend the rest of your life in prison
(6). Accept the situation
      and be grateful you have a job to go to - many don't.

Look at the benefits of going to work. You have money; clothes, a home; children taken care of; laptops; TV; food etc. etc. There is much more when you search your mind. But most of all, you have the feeling of satisfaction that you're well enough to work and thought highly of to be able to hold a job down. A job well done!

Then there is gratitude and thankfulness that you have the ability to do the job well, no matter what it is. You may be a bank manager or a toilet cleaner but in God's eyes you are so important.
Change your thinking and your language and thank God For Monday's.
