Gifts from God

Ecclesiastes 5

18 Even so, I have noticed one thing, at least, that is good. It is good for people to eat, drink, and enjoy their work under the sun during the short life God has given them, and to accept their lot in life. 19 And it is a good thing to receive wealth from God and the good health to enjoy it. To enjoy your work and accept your lot in life—this is indeed a gift from God. 20 God keeps such people so busy enjoying life that they take no time to brood over the past.

In the midst of all the meaningless stuff Solomon discusses, comes this jewel. It is something I am trying to put into practice, although I don’t always succeed by any means. However, I do have to confess that I am blessed beyond reason. I have a loving, devoted Bride; children who love and serve the Lord; and I absolutely LOVE what I do and where I do it by way of the ministry to which God has called me. Even without all of that, I have my salvation in Christ Jesus, so what more could I ask?
