Life Is Beautiful

Like a tree planted along the riverbank..
bearing fruit each season without fail...
Psalm 1:3

“I thank you God for this most amazing day,
for the leaping greenly spirits of trees,
and for the blue dream of sky and for everything
which is natural, which is infinite, which is yes. “
Edward Estlin Cummings

"Light is sweet; it’s wonderful to see the sun.
When people live to be very old, let them rejoice in every day of life.
But let them also remember that the dark days will be many.
Everything still to come is meaningless.

Young man, it's wonderful to be young!

Enjoy every minute of it. Do everything you want to do
but remember that youth must give an account to God for everything you do.
So banish grief and pain, but remember that youth,
with a whole life before it, still faces the threat of meaninglessness.

Don’t' let the excitement of youth
cause you to forget your creator.
Honor Him in your youth before you grow old and no longer enjoy living.
It will be too late then to
remember Him,
when the light and sun and moon and stars is dim to your old eyes,
and there is no
silver lining left among the clouds."
Ecclesiastes 11: 7-9; 12:1-2
