I like to think I would have been one of the children. But. Maybe I wouldn't have been. Maybe I would have hurried by thinking of how I was late for work...cause I'm always late, running through our budget in my head, wondering what in the world I would make for dinner...
I want to live each day thankful for the little gifts. I want to savor the taste and texture of food, and not just gobble them down- which is by the way, one reason I try not to eat fast food...when you try to savor that stuff you only realize more how horrible it is, lol. I want to notice the clouds. I want to take time to find the constellations in the sky at night. I want to really really savor and enjoy the time spent with the people I love best. I want to soak in the colors, the light, the God given gifts of everyday.
So I commend the enjoyment of life, because nothing is better for a man under the sun than to eat and drink and be glad. Then joy will accompany him in his work all the days of the life God has given him under the sun.
perfect thing to read as I'm sitting here eating a breakfast of toasted challah with nutella. one of my goals this year has been to slow down and really appreciate the small things. love that verse.
