The importance of laboring unto the Lord

If you are a parent raising your children, labor as though you’re working for the Lord.  If you are taking care of you parent(s) labor as though you’re working for the Lord.  Whatever God has entrusted you with, labor as though you’re working for the Lord.  And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ. (Colossians 3:23-24 KJV).
