So to the extent to which I have been noticed at all on this board, one may have noticed my penchant language and writing.

The joy in the phrase God's work is in the fact that noone ever appreciated people that do God's work while they were doing it, its going to be inhumanly difficult, it probably won't end well for anyone, and those who do it anyway won't be thanked or remembered for it.

Its beautiful because it is sincere, wry, ironic, and amusing all at once. What is truly ironic though, is outside the military, I rarely encounter anyone who uses the phrase correctly -although that does make sense, since being unappreciated seems to come with a uniform.
