Not Much Remember

"behold, what I have seen to be good and fitting is to eat and drink and find enjoyment in all the toil with which one toils under the sun the few days of his life that God has given him, for this is his lot. Everyone also to whom God has given wealth and possessions and power to enjoy them, and to accept his lot and rejoice in his toil--this is the gift of God. For he will not much remember the days of his life because God keeps him occupied with joy in his heart." Ecclesiastes 5:18-20

I've been thinking on these verses for a while- a few weeks ago they were read during the morning service at First Pres. I was, and still am, struck by the last line... for he will not much remember the days of his life because God keeps him occupied with joy in his heart.

I've spent the past 6 years of my life training to be a Physician Assistant... and I've been working in Nephrology for the past 6 months. During the day... I deal with many problems.. some acute.. others not, and I interact with many other health care professionals. In the trenches, each issue feels really large and can get me really worked up. I've been surprised at how much anger I've dealt with.

It's interesting that as I write this blog..... I feel the need to have a resolution.. some big.. I trusted God and he provided and now everything is grand. I do not have a resolution... just a prayer that I would not much remember my days because I'm occupied with joy in my heart toward Him who has loved me.
