Day 229...(1 Chronicles 3,4; Ecclesiastes 11)..."How to Have a Great Tax Return"

As everyone still might be thinking about tax day, how about a simple message from Ecclesiastes? I like the plain message of how to have the best (tax) returns which says...

"Be generous: Invest in acts of charity. Charity yields high returns. Don't hoard your goods; spread them around. Be a blessing to others. This could be your last night."

We give not for a the sole purpose of a tax deduction but to grow in generosity. I am confused by the "preacher" who is so serious when he lets his hair down with the phrase...

"Live footloose and fancy-free— You won't be young forever. Youth lasts about as long as smoke. You won't be young forever. Youth lasts about as long as smoke."
