Listen to the latest 60 second episode of Integrity Moments with Rick Boxx
My nephew, Shawn, gets bussed daily to a local machine tooling business where he operates a laser. This job gives him relief from his prison cell, provides him purpose, and enables him to make restitution to his victims.
The most meaningful benefit to Shawn, however, is what this job has done for his relationship with his daughter. Shawn’s past mistakes had devastated his relationship with his daughter.
Recently, Shawn’s daughter started college, needing all the financial help she can get. Shawn’s job has allowed him to help her financially. They now speak regularly.
Proverbs 12:14 teaches, “From the fruit of their lips people are filled with good things, and the work of their hands brings them reward.”
