“Behold, what I have seen to be good and fitting is to eat and drink and find enjoyment in all the toil with which one toils under the sun the few days of his life that God has given him, for this is his lot. Everyone also to whom God has given wealth and possessions and power to enjoy them, and to accept his lot and rejoice in his toil—this is the gift of God. For he will not much remember the days of his life because God keeps him occupied with joy in his heart.”

Ecclesiastes 5:18-20 ESV

All,

This stands out because Solomon says, “to accept his lot and rejoice in his toil—this is the gift of God.” We are commanded not to covet. Ken Boa says, “Comparison is the enemy of contentment”. It is a gift from God to be grateful for what we have. Everyone reading this email lives better then Kings did 200 years ago. Please pray that we and our friends express gratefulness to God today, especially when we are inclined to complain. Please pray for Gary Adams surgery. It was moved to 7:30 this morning.
