4:6 Better one handful with tranquility, than two handfuls with toil

What is the point of my work? To buy junk? To increase wealth? Or, to feed my family and provide a decent life for them? I often get caught up in the two handfuls. I especially get caught up in the allocation of resources. One of my weaknesses is to spend more time thinking about investing and savings and tithing rather than doing it. I spend more time thinking about moving into a bigger home than enjoying the memories being made in the one I have. God will provide. He has always provided. I should invest my time in that one handful of tranquility.
