**Laboring in Vain

        Today's first reading comes from Ecclesiastes 1, containing the familiar verses: Vanities of vanities! All things are vanity! What profit has man from all the labor which he toils at under the sun? I am thinking about the things we do for ourselves in life. They are like the breeze which blows by and are gone. Only what we do to glorify God is not done in vain, for everything we do for God's sake turns into treasure in heaven.
