Ecclesiastes 8:14-17

"There is something being done on earth that is pointless.
Righteous people suffer for what the wicked do,
and wicked people get what the righteous deserve.
I say that even this is pointless.
So I recommend the enjoyment of life.
People have nothing better to do under the sun
than to eat, drink, and enjoy themselves.
This joy will stay with them while they work hard
during their brief lives which God has given
them under the sun.
When I carefully considered how to study wisdom
and how to look at the work that is done on earth
(even going without sleep day and night),
then I saw everything that God has done.
No one is able to grasp the work that is done
under the sun.
However hard a person may search for it,
he will not find its meaning.
Even though a wise person claims to know,
he is not able to grasp it."
Today's thought
Have you ever stopped to really evaluate
ALL that God has done ???
That's why I love gratitude journals,
just to take time daily to really consider
All that God has done for me!
It will take me a lifetime to truely grasp
All my blessings.
