An Enlightening Moment

So, today I was driving to school and a weird thought about jobs came across my mind. It was a thought-starter...you know, the kind that gets you thinking, and thinking, and thinking, until you've finally made some random connection through it all. Well, I came to the realization that we were truly created to serve one another. Think of work for example. Our jobs were created to live in harmony with others, serving them, and doing our part to invest in the world and/or local community. Think about it. Everything revolves around this central idea. I guess working at a coffee shop is not so bad after all. I am providing a service to others so that they may go on with their day serving others by providing food, clothing, shelter, entertainment, comfort, care, and so much more. It all goes back to serving the community! This is no brilliant discovery, but to me it was a pleasant realization. God is so creative, that even when he created us all with different qualities and talents, he created us to give back to each other, and in turn, give back to the One who created it all.
