Life's meaning? Ecclesiastes 2:1

Good morning everyone! God is good all the time, all the time God is good. TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!
    What do you stand for?  What will the "dash" in your life say?  The "dash" is on the head stone, and will say:    Johnny Holcomb  1948 - 2030......What will my "-"  say?  Ecclesiastes 2:1 "I said to myself, "Come on, let's try pleasure Let's look for the 'good things' in life"  But I found that this, too, was meaningless."
   Solomon conducted his search for life's meaning as an experiment.  He first tried pursuing pleasure. He took on great projects, bought more slaves, herds, and flocks, gained much wealth, acquired singers, added many concubines to his harem, and became the greatest person in Jerusalem. And???????
   And......none of this gave him satisfaction.  He realized it was all meaningless, just as chasing the wind. Of all the earthly things he obtained and acquired, nothing really was worthwhile.  He had to look beyond what he had and go deeper.....SPIRITUALLY!  He realized that without GOD, nothing is important. God gave meaning to Solomon.  What gives meaning to you and your life?  If the answer is GOD, you are on the right track.  If it is "things of the world" take time to be alone with God and solemnly and sincerely ask for his wisdom, knowledge and guidance.  Love you all. JOHN 12:21 "Sir, we want to see Jesus!"
    In Christ's Love and Grace
