Walking alone on the busy boulevard reminiscing over things, loves and endeavors.  What have I remembered which should have been forgotten, what have I forgotten that which should be recalled?  Did I make anyone smile today, feel better about themselves or feel appreciated for the work that they were doing?  Did I care, actually care, not just listen waiting to give my well-thought out rendition of the next brightest thing I could conjure up?  Are people something which serves my need, ego or artifice or do I actually give a hoot about what resides at the heart of their concentric circles?  Is this world here for me or am I truly made to serve this world on my way to a better place for having learned all there is for me to garner from this life space?

Do children welcome me with gladness, do woman feel that I want to listen and therefore back me up when criticism comes to call?  The Lord says things like, What does man gain from all his labor at which he toils under the sun?  Ecclesiastes 1:3  I ponder the fate of all men and realize that we all face the same maker based on the same rules in roughly the same amount of lifetime.  There is none of us different, that is the fairness of our Lord.  He loves us all the same and gave of Himself for all men, so that none can say there has been any partiality, superiority or favor.  Do I reflect this measure with which God looks upon all His creation?  Do I show all the same love, the same care the same attention?  Perhaps, not I will reflect on this on the walk back to my resting place.

“Light is sweet, and it pleases the eyes to see the sun.  However many years a man may live let him enjoy them all.  But let him remember the days of darkness for they will be many.  Everything to come is meaningless.  Be happy, young man, while you are young and let your heart give you joy in the days of your youth.  Follow the ways of your heart and whatever your eyes see, but know that for all these things God will bring you to judgment.  So then , Banish anxiety from your heart and cast off the troubles of your body, for youth and vigor are meaningless.”
Ecclesiastes 11:7-10

There is a price for all my action or inaction.  Am I conscious of said cost or do I flippantly approach life in a sarcastic or selfish mannerism as not to weigh this accounting wisely?  Will I treat the next ten people I meet with the same comprehension?  Lord, teach me to be an excellent steward of the things, loves and endeavors.  So that I may bring glory to Your name in my use of your provision.  Give me grace, understanding, wisdom and peace and train me to love all the same way that You would have me care for them.  In Jesus’ Holy Name, Christ my Savior, Hope and Eternal Loving King.  What a glorious ring.
