Summary

Is there something I'm missing out on? Is there something better out there? Discontent is part of our story from the very beginning in the Garden of Eden. But let me tell you... I don't have any self-help answers for you to stop being so discontent. There's only one answer to this ache in our souls and I want to talk about it in this episode.

Hey guys, this is Jenny Allen and you are listening to The Made for this podcast.

0:18.6

Today's passage is from Ecclesiastes 4 versus 4 through 8. Then I saw that all toil and

0:24.6

all skill and work come from a man's envy of his neighbor. This also is vanity and

0:29.6

a striving after wind. The fool folds his hands and eats his own flesh. Better is a handful

0:35.3

of quietness than two hands full of toil and a striving after wind. Again, I saw vanity

0:40.3

under the sun. One person who has no other, either son or brother. Yet there is no end

to all his toil and his eyes are never satisfied with riches so that he never asks, for whom am I

to toil and depriving myself of pleasure. This also is vanity and an unhappy business.

Some of our good friends, when they were trying to decide if they were going to get married

1:10.1

or not, the guy sat down with Zach and they had been dating probably for about six years.

1:17.2

And they were perfect for each other. I mean, it was obvious to everybody and we couldn't

1:35.4

I go down the serial aisle. I hate this. Honestly, I know this is weird, but I hate the serial

1:40.3

aisle. I feel so overwhelmed by it because I really love Cinnamon Toast Crunch. It's my

1:45.4

very favorite serial. But now they've made something called Churros, which is like Cinnamon Toast

1:50.5

Crunch, but even more cool. And then they also have like a vanilla crunch that is unbelievable.

1:56.9

And that's just in that little section. Like I can't tell you how much I love Frost

2:00.3

and Mini Weeds. And I mean, I just can't decide. And so I usually buy like five. And I don't
