What’s on your Bucket List?

an ancient bucket list

I wanted to see what was worthwhile for people to do under heaven during

the few days of their lives.

Ecclesiastes 2:3

I tried cheering myself with wine…I undertook great projects…I amassed silver and gold…

I acquired… the delights of the heart of man

Ecclesiastes 2:3,4,8

I denied myself nothing my eyes desired; I refused my heart no pleasure.

My heart took delight in all my work, and this was the reward for all my labour. Yet when I surveyed all that my hands had

done and what I had toiled to achieve, everything was meaningless, a chasing after the wind; nothing was gained under the sun.

Ecclesiastes 2:11

Then I turned my thoughts to consider wisdom, and also madness and folly.

Ecclesiastes 2:12

I saw that wisdom is better than folly, just as light is better than darkness.The wise man has eyes in his head,

while the fool walks in the darkness;

Ecclesiastes 2:13-14

…but I came to realize that the same fate overtakes them both.

I said in my heart,“This too is meaningless.”

Ecclesiastes 2:14,15

Pleasure…Work…

Wealth…Wisdom…

… meaningless, a chasing after the wind.

Ecclesiastes 2:26

It is better to go to a house of mourningthan to go to a house of feasting,

for death is the destiny of every man;the living should take this to heart.

Ecclesiastes 7:2

Shawn Mackay31.5.1982 to 6.4.2009

Dave Freeman 21.2.1961 to 17.8.2008

Forget the list… consider the bucket!

Two things to consider…

Man is destined to die once,and after that to face judgment.

Hebrews 9:27

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever

believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

John 3:16
