A Prayer for Coworkers

Monday’s Reflection

THANK YOU, GOD, for my job.
Sometimes I get tired of the people at work:
the whiners and complainers,
the naysayers and backstabbers,
the bullies and cheats.
Then I remember the others:
the saints and soldiers,
the peacemakers and cheerleaders,
the listeners and uplifters.
And I am thankful.
