“Together”

East or west or north or south,
No difference at all.
If you’re here, I am content,
Winter, spring, summer, fall.
We journey on together,
Yes, side by side we go.
For me there is no other,
But that, I know, you know.
No burdens do I carry,
When you are here with me.
Your hand in mine, I’m happy,
And rich as I can be.
Your presence is a blessing,
For which thanks I do give.
I’ll pray that you’re beside me,
As long as I may live.

I'll Pay You Later

Read:
Luke 14:7-14

You shall be repaid at the resurrection of the just. -Luke 14:14

Bible In One Year: Proverbs 8-11

Suppose a boss were to say to an employee, "We really appreciate what you're doing around here, but we've decided to change the way we pay you. Starting today, we're going to pay you later-after you retire." Would the employee jump for joy? Of course not. That's not the way things work in this world. We like our payment now-or at least every payday.

Did you know that God promises to "pay" us later-much later? And He asks us to be happy about it!

Jesus suggested that our ultimate reward for the good things we do in His name comes after we die. In Luke 14, Jesus said that if we care for the poor, the lame, and the blind, our reward for such kindness will come at the resurrection of the righteous (Luke 14:14). He also said that if we are persecuted, we should "rejoice in that day and leap for joy! For indeed [our] reward is great in heaven" (6:22-23). Surely, the Lord gives us comfort, love, and guidance today, but what wonderful things He has planned for us in the future!

This may not be the way we would have planned it; we don't enjoy waiting for things. But imagine how glorious it will be when we receive our rewards in Jesus' presence. What a grand time we'll have as we enjoy what God has reserved for later. -Dave Branon

Beyond earth's sorrows, the joys of heaven,
Eternal blessings with Christ my Lord;
Earth's weeping ended, earth's trials over,
Sweet rest in Jesus, O blest reward! -Gilmore

What is done for Christ in this life will be rewarded in the life to come.

Firecracker Deviled Eggs

6 appetizer servings

6 hard-cooked eggs*
1/3 cup salsa
3 tablespoons reduced-fat sour cream
3 tablespoons minced green onions
1 tablespoon chopped black olives
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Parsley sprigs, optional


Cut eggs in half lengthwise. Remove yolks and set whites aside. In small bowl,
mash yolks with fork. Stir in remaining ingredients, except parsley, until well
blended. Refill whites, using one heaping tablespoon yolk mixture for each egg
half. Chill to blend flavors. Garnish with parsley, if desired.

*To hard-cook, place eggs in a single layer in saucepan. Add enough water to
come at least one inch above eggs. Cover and quickly bring just to boiling. Turn
off heat; remove pan, if necessary. Let eggs stand, covered, in the hot water about
15 minutes for Large eggs (about 18 minutes for Extra Large eggs and about
12 minutes for Medium). Immediately run cold water over eggs or place in ice
water until completely cooled. To remove shell, crackle it by tapping gently all
over. Roll egg between hands to loosen shell. Then peel, starting at large end. Hold
egg under running cold water or dip in bowl of water to help ease off shell.

Hickety, pickety, my black hen,
She lays eggs for gentlemen;
Gentlemen come every day
To see what my black hen doth lay.
Sometimes nine and sometimes ten.
Hickety, pickety, my black hen.

Happy Egg Day
