After looking at the way things are on this earth,
here’s what I’ve decided is the best way to live:
Take care of yourself,
have a good time,
and make the most of whatever job you have for as long as God gives you life.
And that’s about it.
That’s the human lot.
Yes, we should make the most of what God gives,
both the bounty and the capacity to enjoy it,
accepting what’s given and delighting in the work.
It’s God’s gift!
God deals out joy in the present, the now.
It’s useless to brood over how long we might live.
~Ecclesiastes 5:18-20 (MSG)
I am visiting today from The Sunday Community. Thank you for this reminder to take joy today in the life God has given us.
Wow! What a perfect verse to go along with your 31 days of Coming to Grips with your age…just the perspective I need as I wade thru midlife and emptiNESTness…
A perfect verse for your series.
…not sure why, but Ecclesiastes always makes me laugh.
That is a great scripture verse Sandy. I need to remember it on those days of brooding.
LOVE this verse, Sandy. Exactly.
All that vivid color… Just gorgeous!
