On the nights we had an all-night nurse to relieve us as we left our shift, our favorite good-bye was, "Hope you have a boring night!" We meant it sincerely, hoping that there would not be a nerve-crushing emergency or two. Yes, the excitement makes the time go super-quick, but we'd much rather have a routine shift.
There is boredom and routine in all our lives, even if it's no more than waiting in traffic or store lines. Most of our work involves doing the same monotonous actions over and over. How do we tolerate it? Do we have an active mind? Probably it wouldn't do any good to complain, it would just alienate our co-workers, or our families. We can take a dull day in stride, with a smile, or we can make the whole world miserable. It's our choice.
Dear Lord, if we're bored, help us to praise You! If we're faced with non-stop action, help us praise You! Help us praise You in all things because we know You love us and want the best for us!
