Ecclesiastes 1-2

I was reading Ecclesiastes 1 & 2 today and was thinking how depressing Solomon was sounding.  Then really got thinking about how it is not so meaningless.  The trees work hard to create leaves and shade animals and us, and provide safety for birds and squirrels.  Water works from one form to another and it comes from the river into the ocean.  It is a cycle that goes around and around and keeps working.  The whole earth was made to work.  We were made to work.

It is not meaningless.  Our life is a purposeful life meant to work for others and to work for God.  It is our gift from God.  It is why we need to take breaks, but it is also why we need to move and work.  If you ever wondered what you were meant for?  If you ever wondered why you felt you needed to do something and didn't know why?  Because it was what you were meant to do.  Don't run from it!  Don't hide from it!  Embrace who you are and do what you are called to do.  Work and find your passion in it.
