What's Your Vocation? Or Does It Matter?

Do you know your vocation? Do you think that what you’re doing is your calling? Do you think you missed an opportunity? Why? Some of us aren’t sure what we are destined to do. Some of us drift through life surviving the trials and tribulations of life and dealing with the consequences as best as we can. We don’t realize that we are where God wants us to be. We all want more than what we have. We work day and night, struggling, sacrificing, scrimping and saving and still it never seems to be enough. We see others hardly making an effort and question how can they be so successful. We shouldn’t be jealous of them but we are. As for our calling, we all can’t be preachers, teachers, CEOs, or have white collar jobs. There is nothing wrong with blue collar jobs, these folks have skills that are not always recognized. We can still do our part as true servants of God. We can treat each other like we want to be treated. We can smile at people. We never know who might just need it. Little acts of kindness can go a long way. We can be patient and tolerant of people that we don’t like for no reason at all. More important is treating our elders with respect and honor. They deserve it! We can look at each other equally and thank God that what we have is enough. We have so much more than what others don’t have and we still aren’t grateful.
