Unhappy Workers

We went to a library to retrieve some information with a client today. The 5 minutes process took us almost 2 hours but what really surprised me were how unhappy everybody were (both volunteers and staffs, except the one receptionist who sat at the entrance). Although we were being treated unprofessionally, maybe a little disrespectfully; I couldn't help but feeling sorry for those people.

As a small business owner, I know how important it is to keep the morale of the company high. If the workers aren't happy, so would the customers; and unhappy customers would mean, needless to say, less businesses. But when I think deeper, the side-effect could impact each employee's personal and family lives as well.

God taught me about joy through this verse just now, "You have shown me the path to life, and you make me glad by being near to me. Sitting at your right side, I will always be joyful." (Psalm 16:11, CEV)

Finding joy in life is not something we can earn. It's a gift from God but we have to open our hearts and minds to receive it also.

I pray that God will open their eyes and their minds to see "joy" and the love of Jesus Christ.
