WANTING FOR NOTHING
Today's reading: Ecclesiastes 5-6

"Enjoy what you have rather than desiring what you don't have. Just dreaming about nice things is meaningless, it is like chasing the wind." Ecclesiastes 6:9 NLT

It's that time of year again...

Time to begin asking what our loved ones and friends might need or want, in an effort to provide them with a well thought out Christmas gift.

Here's the problem--none of us need a thing!

Our kids have more things than they could possibly ever use.

Our homes are filled to capacity with stuff we have accumulated.

Our lives are so jam-packed with appointments, meetings and ball games that we seldom have time to actually utilize all we have been given in Christmases past.

So let's enjoy what we have.

King Solomon had probably every single thing money could buy, and maybe two of them, and still he realized things were just, well--things.
