We used our Groupon coupon to Barrio and decided we were glad it was a groupon coupon. Sigh - while the food was different and they gave nice little portions, the service lacked a lot! I had the opportunity to visit the bathroom (d/t the pea size of my bladder that the silly baby seems to think is his water bed) three times from appetizer to desert and wished I had before we left. That was how long dinner dragged out. Perhaps God was trying to get us to enjoy the time alone together - all a part of his master plan that we totally ignored.
We came home to look over the Message from Park Church for Sunday, knowing we would enjoy the service to ourselves with our kids away.
I really liked this short theme - it has me thinking deeply about what work means to me. I wish I could say I enter every work week with a renewed sense of purpose but find myself longing for something better as soon as I am five minutes into the Monday work day. While work does give me a sense of purpose and I enjoy what I do - minor (and some major things) often irritate me so that I am not who I should be. Sigh - I have a lot of work to do on this front.
Ecclesiastes 1:3 :: Your Work Matters to God, Pt. 2
Ecclesiastes 1:3 ESVWhat does man gain by all the toil at which he toils under the sun?
Ecclesiastes 2:10-11 :: Your Work Matters to God
Ecclesiastes 2:10-11 ESVAnd whatever my eyes desired I did not keep from them. I kept my heart from no pleasure, for my heart found pleasure in all my toil, and this was my reward for all my toil. Then I considered all that my hands had done and the toil I had expended in doing it, and behold, all was vanity and a striving after wind, and there was nothing to be gained under the sun.
What does work mean for you?
