This is the Way: Weariness: The Good and the Bad
Ecclesiastes 5:12 says, The sleep of a laboring man is sweet, whether he eats little of much. But the verse continues with a contrast: But the abundance of the rich will not permit him to sleep. Solomon knew the worry and mental turmoil that could trouble those who focused on schemes to gain or maintain wealth. And there is a weariness of the mind that comes from unproductive sources. That sort is not the kind that brings a sense of achievement and completeness.
Next time you get the feeling of being weary from hard and productive work, take just a moment to relish the thought of falling into that wonderful bed and blissful sleep. You have earned the rest!

This is the Way: Words Are Cheap
Many things in life are expensive and costly, but words are cheap. They cost nothing except learning when and how to use them. Sincere compliments, thoughtful concerns and encouragement are of great value. They cheer the heart. A person with a wealth of wisdom can convey words of kindness. Spend this fortune generously.

This is the Way: Life and Living
We all need food, clothing and shelter. These necessities are the elements of living that we are able to obtain by what we earn. We also need love, friendship, family and social networks. We cannot buy love or friendship; they are gained by first giving them to others. By giving wisely where and when we can, we develop these priceless avenues of life. We give of our time, our ears, our hearts, our comfort and our sympathy, as well as our wealth. Love is a natural outgrowth, and when it is first given away, it can flourish and develop. In the end, it is the greatest gift life can offer. That is a real life.

United Church of God - Official Site
The United Church of God, today active with congregations in more than 40 countries, began as a formal assembly in 1995. Doctrinal distinctives of the Church include the observance of a seventh-day Sabbath, a modern application of the ancient Hebrew Holy Day seasons (which Jesus also kept and which the Church believes are a literal representation of God's plan for humanity) and a firm belief that Jesus Christ will return to earth to institute a benevolent, world-encircling Kingdom of God.
