Reflections On The Scripture: This verse from Ecclesiastes may seem perplexing at first, but consider it as a call to deeply value life and appreciate its fleeting nature. It is easy to get caught up in the daily grind and forget the blessings that surround us each day. It's not a morbid call to envy the rest, rather, it's a stern reminder to understand the importance of living a purposeful, meaningful existence while we still have the gift of life. As we live, we are called to not just exist but to really live - to experience, love and serve. Therefore, let us live fully with every breath we exhale, every choice we make. And when sorrow and hardships touch us, remember they are part of our human experience and they help to shape us into stronger, wiser beings.
