So I saw that there is nothing better for people than to be happy in their work. That is our lot in life. And no one can bring us back to see what happens after we die.
- Ecclesiastes 3:22 (NLT)
I’m showing my age here, but I remember a commercial from 1984 for Dunkin Donuts.
It was a 30 second spot showing a guy leaving early for work saying, “Time to make the donuts” and coming home late saying, “I made the donuts”.
He walks out the door and back in the door in all sorts of weather until he runs into himself coming and going.
So many of us feel this was, we go to work, we come home, wash, rinse, repeat.
We work so hard to get the things we want and to do stuff that we enjoy that we sacrifice time with our families and we often sacrifice our own health.
But if we aren’t happy in our work, what are we accomplishing?
At the end of a busy day, do you feel like you made a difference, or do you feel like you just go repeat everything tomorrow?
Even stay-at-home parents and the folks that are retired need to find something they LOVE.
Spend time doing things that matter, that make a difference, take time with family and most important, take time to be with God.
The last line of this verse – no one can bring us back to see what happens after we die.
We can’t take it with us, and we can’t come back.
It is your choice to be happy.
