living

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)

 

We are 233 days into the year 2020 and what a year it has been.

A lot of crazy, crazy things have happened in our world, things that are horrible and we will spend a long time as a society trying to recover after it is all over.

These crazy things have made people unhappy, have turned friends against friends and even destroyed families.

We need God more than ever.

I challenge you to find something every day that brings you joy and focus on that thing.

If you find yourself drifting down a path of despair, think of that thing that brough you joy and lift yourself up.

We can be happy, God wants us to be happy, we need to focus on the things He gives us that bring us joy.
