https://wp-media.patheos.com/blogs/sites/305/2021/08/1024px-King_Solomon_Hajdudorog_Frame.jpeg576768The Book of Ecclesiastes, while making us face up to the "vanity" of life "under the sun," has much to say about vocation. Enjoyment in our work comes from the hand of God. A spouse whom we love can enable us to enjoy life. The enjoyment we can find in good food and drink is the gift of God. Through faith in Him, our meaningless life acquires meaning and satisfaction after all.
