SouthernBelle, as a lowly peasant barmaid on a short break to pump milk for my daughter, I don't have time to respond to your comments in the detail. However I would like to at least tell you that the tone of your post is a bit arrogant and fairly condescending. I admit, I have a poor understanding of the role of class distinction in society. Despite this, I do know that our Lord speaks to the level of difficulty involved with the rich getting to heaven. Because of this, I feel it is might prove to be a blessing that I am poor, as I face enough obstacles to reaching eternal salvation.
God Bless.
PW don't fret. I am also a working-class man doing a night job, looking for a second job soon. What really irritates me about our college educated, men and women, is they look down on those without degrees and have a contempt for those working-class folks with their over-educated, elitist ideals.
I thank God I'm not like them reading books all day, but instead doing manual labor.
Thank you. I just have moments of exhaustion when I curse my financial status. Not because I desire material things, but just so I know I can pay my rent. Then the Lord finds a good way to remind me that my cross serves a purpose, and we are all blessed in different ways. Lack of money is not the reason I struggle.
Be proud of your occupation.
BTW, have you ever thought about putting this on T-shirt?
Well maybe I am a patriarchal sexist but in my household my wife and children would abide by MY rules and thinking, not hers.
Just kidding! LOL...too much coffee today!
