My summer job involves assisting in graduate research. Basically, helping out with a lot of nitty-gritty data collection and entry. I honestly didn't have much of an idea about what the data was for or what the main project entailed, but the job paid well enough for me to do it. What I am grateful for is that the graduate students have recently given presentations on their projects for their principal investigator and all of the assistants were invited. Most of the terminology that was used was way over my head, but I finally know the big picture of my job. This gives me a greater sense of purpose and importance in the midst of the dirty, menial chores I do each day I work.
To look at the an bigger picture, this experience reminds me of how my faith is continuing to help me remember the meaning and importance of what I do in my life. To have a knowledge of God's plan of happiness for His children gives me a great sense of purpose and importance as a child of God.
So, what am I grateful for today? Learning the big picture behind my summer job.
