ARE FUN AND WORK A BIG PROBLEM?


This is a big question in our world.

Our society seems intent on finding fun, in whatever form. If this is where we are headed, sorry to report that the incidence of mental health problems in children has doubled in the last 50 years.

It has been a common goal to work hard for retirement to have fun. The problem here is that retirement itself is retiring. Those who are retired find themselves working harder than ever.

So does this mean no fun? Not if we have the right attitude towards work. Many will say that the most important satisfactions come from work. Maybe fun is a fantasy that lures us away from work with nothing to show for it.

Fun might just be like happiness. If you go for it you don’t get it. But if you do the right things, fun comes as a perk which cannot be planned.

This line of thought is true in the faith. We grow in the faith through caring, serving and praying. Faith does not come easy or easily. It takes work.

The Family Wellness Rainbow shows us where we need to do some work.
