I have this funny struggle.  Perhaps it's one you can relate to.  I often feel that some of my "work" is more valuable than other work.

For example, when I'm cleaning the bathroom at the barn on my farm days, the thought, "I went to medical school for this?" runs through my mind.  Or when I'm canning tomatoes, I think, "Is this really the best use of my time?"  When I'm arguing with someone at an insurance company so that one of my patients can get the medicine/referral they need, or scrubbing the crayon off the bathroom wall, I wonder what would be a better use of my time.

And yet I know the truth: what I am doing is less important than how I am doing it.

"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward.  It is the Lord Christ you are serving."  Colossions 3:23-24
