a friendly sunday a.m. reminder...

This past week, I read the following paraphrase of a passage in Ecclesiastes.

{I'm buying a canvas, painting these words on it, and hanging it in my kitchen.}

Seize life!

Eat bread with gusto,
Drink wine with a robust heart.

Oh yes—God takes pleasure in your pleasure!

Dress festively every morning.

Don't skimp on colors and scarves.

Relish life with the spouse you love

Each and every day of your precarious life.

Each day is God's gift.

It's all you get in exchange

For the hard work of staying alive.

Make the most of each one!

Ecclesiastes 9:7-11
