Scripture/Text: ; No one escapes the troubles that come with life, and every one of us will eventually meet death. But while we're alive on earth, we have hope that the dead doesn't have, and the opportunity to enjoy this short life that God has given us. This Sunday, in Ecclesiastes 9.1-12, the Teacher strongly urges us to enjoy - to the fullest extent - the basic God-given pleasures of life. Why? Because you only live once.
