Eat, Drink, and Be Merry

I am going to die. Before that day comes I am going to do my best to live.
There is a time for everything under the sun. There are going to be seasons of joy and plenty, seasons of pain and loss and famine. There is a time to mourn, a time for silence, a time to speak, a time to move on. In all of these things God has placed opportunities for joy if we are seeking Him. There are always opportunities to love Jesus and bring Him glory. That is what matters. Life is so short, then we die. While we are alive we had best be living, not just existing. Eat, drink, be merry! Do not let your eating turn to gluttony. Do not let your drinking turn to drunkenness. Do not let your merriment turn to debauchery. Do not use your freedom to gratify the desires of the flesh. But in all things seek first the kingdom of God. Find joy in your days. A day like today where I could sit under a tree in the sun listening to music, even with all the crap going on around me, there is joy there. God is there through it all. He makes everything beautiful in its time. That is all that matters in life. God. He is it. Death will come, and when it does it will seem like it is there far too soon. Whenever my lot is up, I am okay with that, but from now til then I will live.
