I have had enough of anything political; its time I thought of something on the lighter side of life. This picture more than qualifies. Here is someone who is enjoying life in a more light-hearted manner. My guess is that the bike probably belongs to his grand-daughter, but, who knows?
Anyway, life for most of us is but a few decades, so I say, enjoy it the best you can! Then I remembered the wise words of Solomon in the book of Ecclesiastes…
Ecclesiastes 5 ( World English Bible )
18 Behold, that which I have seen to be good and proper is for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy good in all his labor, in which he labors under the sun, all the days of his life which God has given him; for this is his portion.
19 Every man also to whom God has given riches and wealth, and has given him power to eat of it, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labor—this is the gift of God.
God has given us many blessings. We should from time to time take stock of them and rejoice. Every so often, we sing the following at the Southside, Zephyrhills congregation…
When upon life's billows you are tempest tossed When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost Count your many blessings, name them one by one And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done Are you ever burdened with a load of care? Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear? Count your many blessings, every doubt will fly And you will keep singing as the days go by So, amid the conflict, whether great or small Do not be disheartened, God is over all Count your many blessings, angels will attend Help and comfort give you to your journey's end Count your blessings, name them one by one Count your blessings, see what God hath done Count your blessings, name them one by one And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done
And, just in case you feel like singing….
Philippians 4 ( WEB )
Rejoice in the Lord always! Again I will say, “Rejoice!”
Be happy, for God loves us all. Do something today for the pure fun of it.
