Ecclesiastes 11:7-8

MSG

NIV

7 Oh, how sweet the light of day, And how wonderful to live in the sunshine!
7 Light is sweet, and it pleases the eyes to see the sun.
8 Even if you live a long time, don't take a single day for granted. Take delight in each light-filled hour, Remembering that there will also be many dark days And that most of what comes your way is smoke.
8 However many years anyone may live, let them enjoy them all. But let them remember the days of darkness, for there will be many. Everything to come is meaningless.
