Enjoyment » Enjoying the fruits of your labor
I know that there is no blessedness in them, - save to be glad, and to do well with one's life. Though indeed, that any man should eat and drink, and see blessedness, in all his toil, it is, the gift of God.
Lo! what, I myself, have seen - Better that it should be excellent to eat and to drink and to see blessedness, in all one's toil wherein one toileth under the sun, for the number of the days of his life, in that God hath given it him, for, that, is his portion: yet, as regardeth every man, to whom God hath given wealth and goods, and granted him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to find gladness in his toil, this, is, the gift of God. Though it be not much, let him remember the days of his life, - for, God, beareth witness, by the gladness of his heart.
