Ecclesiastes 5:19-20 (Solomon on Toil)

Ecclesiastes 5:19-20

Everyone also to whom God has given wealth and possessions and power to enjoy them, and to accept his lot and rejoice in his toil—this is the gift of God. For he will not much remember the days of his life because God keeps him occupied with joy in his heart. (ESV)

Our days won't drag on. God's gift to us is the ability to focus on Him as our joy and the giver of gifts to us.
