       “Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord” (Colossians 3:20, ESV). When growing up as a kid, during the mid-90s, the earthly father often put the speaker and his brother to work during the late-Springtime and over the Summer. This is, we worked eight acres or so cutting grass and trimming trees. Often, on a given Saturday, ten or even twelve hours would be spent driving the tractor around. For sure, the speaker learned to use the John Deere around ten years of age. Whether it was the sweltering heat or whatnot, we’d be cutting the grass, working the fields. It was tuff work, especially at that young age. When an older age was reached, in the latter teens, and it wasn’t required to do the work anymore, it was concluded that that work had been too much. But then later, after college when working in the professional world, this belief was reversed and thankfulness ensued because of the ability of now being able to endure long, drawn out work.
