Sometimes, living out my mittens can be a little tedious. Mittens aren't always very glamorous. Like spending my days at work uploading product pictures to the company's website. It isn't very glamorous. I complain about it on occasion (good-natured complaining, I hope – if that's possible?) to my friends. But it's a summer job, and it puts food on the college tuition payment table.
More than that, though, doing this work makes me think about my mittens. Can I bring shalom into the chaos of something like this? Does this dull work of downloading and uploading pictures of products even do that? Can a company website really use some shalom? Is this something I can do to glory of God, as if working for the Lord, not for men?
I've come to think the answer is ita. ναί. Si. Hai.
In other words, yes.
