In my work #1

Can a regular guy in a small town glorify God in his work? Laremy DeVries has a sense of purpose and fulfillment at his coffee and sandwich shop in Sioux Center, Iowa. 

He has an integrated view of his work as cooperating with God, the original Creator of the ingredients - the coffee beans, the milk and eggs, etc. - he uses in his shop. "And then I get the chance to take these things that God has made good and that many within the supply chain have treated with love and respect and make something good myself."

"When someone purchases a latte at the Fruited Plain Café, it is useful and beautiful. It honors its ingredients from farm—whether that be a coffee plantation in Nicaragua or a dairy in Nebraska —to cup. And it is never shoddily done. I have the opportunity to see God at work and read the revelation of His creation every day."

"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord . ."
