Ecclesiastes 7:1-3
The Message

Don’t Take Anything for Granted

7 A good reputation is better than a fat bank account.
Your death date tells more than your birth date.

2 You learn more at a funeral than at a feast—
After all, that’s where we’ll end up. We might discover
    something from it.

3 Crying is better than laughing.
It blotches the face but it scours the heart.
