How to Use Notes

This is a guide in using fill in the blank notes, free notes, and what you can do with them.

First off, sometimes we will have fill in the blank options for you. These will look like this:

If you type something up there that is incorrect, the blue line will turn red, and give you the option to reveal the answer. You can do that or type the correct response and the line will turn green.

Secondly, you can type in whatever notes you want using the icon that looks like the one below this statement on the right.

Whatever you type on that, will stay in your own personal note!

Lastly, you can send yourself your note to your email to save. We recommend you doing this because we will need to update the notes each week.

Living the Dream: Live it Up - 7/2/23

Learning how to die well informs us on how to live well.

“A good reputation is more valuable than costly perfume. And the day you die is better than the day you are born. Better to spend your time at funerals than at parties. After all, everyone dies— so the living should take this to heart. Sorrow is better than laughter, for sadness has a refining influence on us. A wise person thinks a lot about death, while a fool thinks only about having a good time.”
—Ecclesiastes 7:1–4, NLT

Anger

“Control your temper, for anger labels you a fool.”
—Ecclesiastes 7:9, NLT

Nostalgia

“Don’t long for “the good old days.” This is not wise.”
—Ecclesiastes 7:10, NLT

Being focused on how life was better will only make us bitter.

“Accept the way God does things, for who can straighten what he has made crooked?”
—Ecclesiastes 7:13, NLT

“The living at least know they will die, but the dead know nothing. They have no further reward, nor are they remembered. Whatever they did in their lifetime—loving, hating, envying—is all long gone. They no longer play a part in anything here on earth. So go ahead. Eat your food with joy, and drink your wine with a happy heart, for God approves of this! Wear fine clothes, with a splash of cologne!”
—Ecclesiastes 9:5–8, NLT

Living it up shows we are living in his favor.

“Live happily with the woman you love through all the meaningless days of life that God has given you under the sun. The wife God gives you is your reward for all your earthly toil. Whatever you do, do well. For when you go to the grave, there will be no work or planning or knowledge or wisdom.”
—Ecclesiastes 9:9–10, NLT

If we aren’t giving, we aren’t really living.
