Pr. 14 [The Message]

Hard work always pays off;
    mere talk puts no bread on the table.

Between the two of us, Patty is more the hard worker and me the smooth talker. I laugh because I’m retired and she is still working. I joke that she is supporting me.

Truth is, children develop their work ethic in the home. Patty grew up on a farm where they were expected to work and pitch in. Me, not so much. I like to talk. It doesn’t pay the bills.
