Pleasure in toil as God’s gift to man

Your theme for Labor Day, I mean, Vocation Day:

What gain has the worker from his toil? I have seen the business that God has given to the children of man to be busy with. He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into manโ€™s heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end.

(Ecclesiastes 3:9-12)
