I fixed a quick and easy
dish for church dinner this morning. Just wasn't in the mood to cook
so I made a large fruit salad. To my surprise every bit of it was
eaten except a few pineapple chunks. It was needed to balance out the
rest of the food. Everything was very good. Someone even brought a
freezer of homemade ice cream. A huge angel food cake was sitting
beside it. We do enjoy our church dinners, and sharing with friends.
When I got home I laid down and rested for a couple of hours. Then my
son called, and we had a good long visit. All in all this day has
been a blessed one. Since it's Sunday I don't feel bad about being
lazy, although I have a full week ahead of me. I have an annual
doctor's check up coming Wednesday. I have to drive nearly two
hundred miles for that. I will spend one night then come home the
next day. I am looking forward to getting away for a little while.
Tomorrow I will again be
going to the Senior's luncheon at the Center. They are having Mexican
Pile On, and that includes everything good that you can pile on your
plate. Our cooks makes wonderful Mexican food. We never know who we
might see that we haven't seen in a long time. It is a place of many
surprises. Some of the best people in the world attend these lunches
regularly. There are also a lot of younger people go there to eat. It
is a place for everyone, but respect is shown to all who attend.
Nothing is taken for granite.
I have just started the
book of Ecclesiastes in my daily bible reading. In the first chapter
where I was reading last night I learned something new. I'm sure I
have heard this scripture quoted many times before, but I must have
forgotten. The first verse, of the first chapter of Ecclesiastes
says, these are the words of the Preacher, the son of David, King in
Jerusalem. I don't know, but I wonder if this is not talking about
Solomon. Because this book is all about wisdom. King Solomon was the
wisest King on earth. The part that got my attention the most was the
18th verse of that first chapter. “For in much wisdom is
much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.” I
am stumped as to just what that means. Does it mean that people with
wisdom and knowledge have to suffer more than those without it? I do
remember the scripture that says “he whom much has been given, much
will be required.” Does it mean that God will not accept anything
but our best? Wow! Everyone needs to read the book of Ecclesiastes,
the words of the Preacher, King Solomon. Then to make things more
confusing This wise King Solomon turned away from God. 1 Kings
chapter 11. He suffered much sorrow. It seems like there was no end
to the terrible things he did. God help us through this life of
troubles and sorrow.
God Bless
