Everything Is Beautiful - Really?

According to the Preacher of Ecclesiastes...

"There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens:... a time to be born and a time to die...a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance... a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing... a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak...

When time is no more. When all activity is done. When all that we know are memories. When our heart is set only on eternity and we go the way of all men - will everything be made beautiful?

...He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart...

If God "has made everything beautiful in its time" all our memories should be "beautiful" in the eternity set in the human heart. So I do not dwell on the bad memories now, and the good ones give me joy. They make me laugh and cry, sometimes at the same time.

I know that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to do good while they live. That each of them may eat and drink, and find satisfaction...this is the gift of God...

What we do now creates memories, some good, some bad. But what God does lasts beyond "time" and we cannot "fathom" them now.

...no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end....I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it..." (Ecclesiastes 3:1-14)

I try to live so that the memories I make today will be good for my family and friends. 

So, as Bobby McFerrin's lyrics go - Don't worry, Be happy!  After all, God has told us "everything" will turn out "beautiful"...according to the Preacher of Ecclesiastes - I like this guy!
