In the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Do you ever think about why you work? Why do you do the job you do every day? What makes you continue to farm or sell groceries or deliver mail or teach? Would you rather not do what you do?
Long ago, King Solomon considered these questions in his search for knowledge and wisdom. And we heard his conclusions in today's Old Testament lesson: “I hated all my toil in which I toil under the sun, seeing that I must leave it to the man who will come after me, and who knows whether he will be wise or a fool? Yet he will be master of all for which I toiled and used my wisdom under the sun. This also is a vanity.”
