This was the verse in mine and Hub's devotion this morning. It really struck me. Enjoy each day to the fullest, for each day is from Him.
Ecclesiastes 5:18-20 (The Message)
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.
For you JRo:
Ecclesiastes 5:18-20 (King James Version)
18Behold that which I have seen: it is good and comely for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labour that he taketh under the sun all the days of his life, which God giveth him: for it is his portion.
19Every man also to whom God hath given riches and wealth, and hath given him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labour; this is the gift of God.
20For he shall not much remember the days of his life; because God answereth him in the joy of his heart.

I love how you know I am a King James girl! I was actually kinda thinking about this last night, not even realizing that there was a verse for it. Funny how God works, right?
Yea, I thought it was a good verse for both of us.
