Good morning…
Sorting through stacks of old stuff, I happen upon a favorite photo. Canoe. Popsicles. Big wheel. Three of our kids with some of their cousins. My mom, a grandmother of twelve, smiling in her mid-sixties. This endearing image is soaked in summer fun.
Some of the same cousins, now in their mid-twenties, are pictured last month at my mom’s 84th birthday party. My sister. Her husband. My dad. My mom in her wheelchair. Cake. Candles. Casual conversation. Enjoying the littlest pleasures of a life well-lived, what could be more memorable?
So I advise everyone to enjoy life. A person on this earth can’t do anything better than eat and drink and be glad. Then they will enjoy their work. They’ll be happy all the days of the life God has given them on earth (Ecclesiastes 8:15, NIRV).
“Who thanks for little is thankful for much,” we shift to a positive the Estonian proverb.
