The work we do in our lives should matter to more than our bank account. I like my job but let’s face it, it’s not my life, matter of fact I call it my day job and merely something I do to pay the bills. The other useful thing about my job is interacting with people I wouldn’t have met otherwise. Knocking myself out for a fatter wallet is not what I’d think of as a worthy endeavor.
What is worthy? I’d have to say helping a friend who needs a ride. Spending time with my family. Talking to my best friend. Laughing even when things are tough. Giving my precious time to someone who just needs a little help too.
I came into the world with nothing in my hand but I will leave it with a full heart.
As he came from his mother’s womb,
naked shall he return, to go as he came;
And he shall take nothing from his labor
Which he may carry away in his hand. Ecc 5:15
