Ecclesiastes 6 · Grade 2

Thankful Hearts

Name Date

Read the Story

The Preacher saw a sad thing. A man had riches and honor from God, but he did not enjoy them.

Some people always want more. They work for food, but they are still hungry for more. Being thankful is better than always wanting something else.

The Preacher asked, Who knows what is good for man in life? God knows. We can trust Him and be thankful for what He gives.

Memory Verse

“Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire. This also is vanity and a chasing after wind.”

Ecclesiastes 6:9 (WEB)
