What’s In A Life Verse?
July 4th, 2011 § Leave a Comment
In Christian circles you sometimes hear people talk about their “life verse“. I’m not exactly sure how you go about getting one of these, whether there is an official ceremony for these kinds of things, someone important gives one to you or if a meteorite crashes through the roof of your house, buries itself in your Bible stopping at the page containing your life verse.
Today as I was reading my Bible I came to this passage in my daily reading:
There is nothing better for a person than that he should eat and drink and find enjoyment in his toil. This also, I saw, is from the hand of God, for apart from him who can eat or who can have enjoyment? – Ecclesiastes 2:24-25 ESV
I guess if I have to have a “life verse” this one sounds pretty good. Especially today on July 4th as later today my daughter and I will grill hamburgers for the family. The menu tonight will be burgers, tater tots, and salad. I’ll also enjoy one of my favorite beers, a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale.
Come to think of it, there isn’t much better than to eat good food, drink a good beer and enjoy the fruits of one’s labors. Thank you God.
