Ecclesiastes 9:7

Enjoy Life While It Lasts

⁶ Furthermore, their love, their hate, and their envy have been long lost. Never again will they have a part in what happens on earth. ⁷ Go ahead and enjoy your meals as you eat. Drink your wine with a joyful attitude, because God already has approved your actions. ⁸ Always keep your garments white, and don't fail to anoint your head.

Go Your Way
