THE DAYS OF MY LIFE

The days of my life

 are three score and ten and if reason of strength they fourscore,

Yet their pride is but labor and sorrow, For it passes quickly, and we fly away.

11 Who knows the power of your anger, Your wrath according to the fear that is due to you? 

12 So teach us to number our days, That we may gain a heart of wisdom."

Psalm 90


As much as we might enjoy this earthly life, and many times, if not most of the time, we will adopt the thinking that wealth or having things is the key to enjoyment of life.  

The preacher or King Solomon gives us a different view.

10	Whatever my eyes desired,  I didn`t keep from them. I didn`t withhold my heart from any joy, for my heart rejoiced because of all my labor, and this was my portion from all my labor.
11	Then I looked at all the works that my hands had worked, and at the labor that I had labored to do; and, behold, all was vanity and a chasing after wind, and there was no profit under the sun.
12	I turned myself to consider wisdom, madness, and folly: for what can the king`s successor do? Just that which has been done long ago.
13	Then I saw that wisdom excels folly, as far as light excels darkness.
14	The wise man`s eyes are in his head, and the fool walks in darkness -- and yet I perceived that one event happens to them all.
15	Then said I in my heart, "As it happens to the fool, so will it happen even to me; and why was I then more wise?" Then said I in my heart that this also is vanity.
16	For of the wise man, even as of the fool, there is no memory for ever, seeing that in the days to come all will have been long forgotten. Indeed, the wise man must die just like the fool!
17	So I hated life,  because the work that is worked under the sun was grievous to me;                                            for all is vanity and a chasing after wind ECCLESIASTES 2

These verses touched my heart in a way, and in a time, that moved me to consider more critically where I was headed with my life. SEE PAGE ON MY LIFE
