Ecc. 8, 9 [The Message]

How many days have you wasted? Me, plenty.

When we stop and think about the opportunities each day brings, we are wise to make the most of it.

Since I have retired and with the limited energy I have because of my age and the side-effects of my blood cancer, I can’t do in a day what I used to. In fact, if I get one significant thing done each day, I don’t consider it a wash. Nevertheless, it was a gift and I value it.

If our lives can have some meaningful impact on someone else in the day, It’s profitable. If fact, if we start each day with the prayer, “Lord, let me be a blessing and help to someone today,” we are on the way to having a fruitful day.

Let’s all do it right now!
