Ecclesiastes 9:7-10

"Go, enjoy eating your food, and drink your wine cheerfully,

because God has already accepted what you've done.

Always wear clean clothes, and never go without lotion on
your head. Enjoy life with your wife, whom you love,
during all your brief, pointless life.
God has given you your pointless life under the sun.

This is your lot in life and what you get for the

hard work that you do under the sun.

Whatever presents itself for you to do,

do it with all your might, because there is no work,

planning, or knowledge, in the grave where you're going.

Something else, the race isn't won by fast runners,

or the battle by heroes. Wise people don't necessarily have
food. Intelligent people don't necessarily have riches,

and skilled people don't necessarily receive special treatment.

But time and unpredictable events overtake all of them.

No one knows when his time will come."



Something to think about

Sometimes life seems unfair,
but if we MYOB (mind your own business)
as my mother would say,
we will not be upset that someone else is
receiving what they don't deserve,
but we will accept the fact
that "EVERYTHING is in God's hands."
