Dark Days

Eccles. 11:7-8

7 Light is sweet, and it is pleasant for the eyes to see the sun. 8 So if a person lives many years, let him rejoice in them all; but let him remember that the days of darkness will be many. All that comes is vanity.

• Why should a person rejoice in all of their years, even the bad ones?
  
• Why should a person remember the dark days in their life?
  
• How do the dark days of life under the sun keep the bright days in perspective?

• As pilgrims under the sun why is it important to remember the futility of life here?
  
• If light is pleasant here under the sun, what will life be like in heaven where there is no darkness, either physical, emotional, or spiritual?
