hosta

I had a doctor appointment yesterday. She told me I should cut down and eventually give up diet coke. (There's no way that's happening). My Dr. is very sweet and with her strong polish accent she said, "as we get older we have few and fewer pleasures." It has made me smile all day.


Her comment made me think about a verse we talked about in our small group Sunday night.

"So I commend the enjoyment of life, because nothing is better for a man under the sun than to eat and drink and be glad. Then joy will accompany him in his work all the days of the life God has given him under the sun." Eccl 8:15

I think we are blessed if we can enjoy the little things in life. We may never understand why certain "big" things happen, but we can trust the God who does know. So, enjoy the little pleasures God blesses us with, even if you have to do it without diet coke.

Grace and Peace,
Jane

One must never give up their diet coke...husbands maybe and children...but not the diet coke.
