The perfect medicine

“I perceived that there is nothing better for them than to be joyful and to do good as long as they live;” Ecclesiastes 3:12, The Bible (English Standard Version)

There are all sorts of medicines to help us deal with things as well as lots of pills.

We can’t sleep well or we have to stay awake during a long shift to pay the bills.

We get tired and bogged down with everyday life only to spend it all on drink.

We try to have fun, be happy and laugh - leaving little time to deeply think. 

This scripture reminds us that there is nothing better than to be joyful and happy.

It prevents us from being horrible to others or to be moody or snappy.

If we focus on doing as much good as we can while we are still alive,

then we will see the benefits to our health, mind and soul as we continue to survive.
