Work–Worthy of Meditation?

When I was meditating the other day I was thinking of my past days and my “JOB” popped into my head. I thought that my job certainly wasn’t worthy of meditation so maybe I was getting a distraction. But I decided that I spend a lot of time every day working and so maybe I ought to think about my work. I would like to share some of my thoughts with you so you might have a similar experience.
I have a very dear friend who runs a workshop on Work with Purpose and this came to my mind. The why I do my work is so much more than the work. Do I do my work in order to be recognised? Do I do my work in order to get ahead in my career?
Do I do my work in order to be a better, smarter, holier person? Maybe all of the above? Maybe some other reason?
Purpose is so important because I will do a better job if my purpose is better. Jesus Christ who was a special person in the life of the world learned at a young age to be a carpenter like his stepfather Joseph. He did not stay in that career but he treated it like a noble way of work until he felt that he had another calling. The word “calling” when spoken of in career terms is VOCATION.
To be called to a special work or even to find oneself in a special job is the first question I will ask myself. Why am I doing this work now, here in this place, and what is my purpose?
What does the word vocation mean and why is it so close to vacation? Some thoughts to pick up on in the future.
