Ecclesiastes 3:12-13 NASB "I know that there is nothing better for them than to rejoice and to do good in one’s lifetime;  moreover, that every person who eats and drinks sees good in all his labor—this is the gift of God."As we stood looking at the pile of wood and debris that needed to be removed from the yard, we began to laugh!! My wife commented " look at all this and we don't even have a tree in our yard!". Today's verse shares about rejoicing,  doing good, and eating and drinking and seeing good in all our labor! We began to laugh realizing that without a tree in our yard, we had branches, leaves, large parts of the tree trunk all over our yard and removing them was going to be an all day event! I think it all goes to our perspective in looking at life. We could have made this job more difficult by complaining or we could have had fun as we did it, we chose the later and enjoyed time together and got the job done. What's our perspective when it comes to life and the time we have on this earth... do we complain more than we enjoy? Just a thought! One is definitely more fun! peace, tom
