Feelings of Grace

                    I often times... get this feeling. . .
                                   like, God allows all of the bad stuff in our lives happen... so that. . . we can be grateful and truly appreciate the good things...

                   

I recently read a scripture about work... and thinking on my current predicament... I can see the wisdom in Solomon's words. He claimed that wisdom in itself means nothing. And knowledge gained is futile. When it comes to enjoying life.

The fruits of your labors is what does it.

So even if you do what you love...

if your not enjoying the results. . .

of what good is it that you work hard?

It's the primary reason behind there being soo many Quacks out there.

Doctor's who love their work, but never get to enjoy seeing their patients get better... so they focus on other ways to find joy... and the result is pure greed!

But then you have to imagine. . . that if you hate your job, even if you get to enjoy the production of it, (be it money $$ or otherwise) then it's really not so bad. And I believe that's why many people keep their lousy jobs!!

It's not because they like it there.

It's because... they get more out of their work.

So then... what it really boils down to. . .

is...

What do you want to get out of it?

If it's money?

Any job at all should do!

If it's prestige, however,

you may need to find someone famous.

And if it's stuff?

mayhaps a junkyard, or waste management company will do the trick.

All those other occupations...

...

They just add more agitation to a person's life.

Unless... that's really what the person wants. O_o!

Of course thievery isn't considered an occupation.

But I'm pretty sure, you'd have to, to get that stuff!

Me?

I just want to be financially stable enough... to help out family and friends. The way they've helped me out in the past. To be able to one day have a family of my own. And. . . not have to worry about them wondering when their next meal is coming from.

But seeing good for my hard work, isn't easy.

If I could enjoy the things that I have... but it's hard to. . . all by myself.

Then again. . .

Those kinds of fruits, (my... financial goals, I guess) . . . take a rather long time to achieve!

One needs,

skill,

hard work,

endurance,

and above all,

patience.

I think the patience is a virtue I need most.

...and you know he was prolly the last one to board it. But he did it! Dag-gummit!!
