[WayzataJOHNN]

Will You

Let this holy day be one of inward contemplation
of self appraisal, asking how He would see you
Admit your faults, the self seeking gratification
first step in the humbling task we each must do

We are but the fickle children of a patient Parent
who waits for us to see the love we are held in
Waiting for us to now awaken to the truth He sent
waiting to lift us from the stain and pain of sin

Be not so proud, for we are weak and oft a fool
valuing trinkets when offered riches beyond gold
Lift thy mortal eyes to a higher one, be not a tool
keep the covenant with Him as once we did of old

[MEG33]

Welcome To Sunday At Amy's Place

1. For the beauty of the earth,
for the glory of the skies,
for the love which from our birth
over and around us lies;
Lord of all, to thee we raise
this our joyful hymn of praise.

For The Beauty Of The Earth

Blessings To All Who Enter Here

Heaven On Earth?

READ: Ecclesiastes 2:15-26

Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. —Colossians 3:2

The Singapore developer of an extravagant condominium advertised its new project as, “Rediscover Heaven on Earth.” I suppose it meant to convey to prospective buyers that their purchase would be so luxurious that it would be like living in heaven while here on earth.

Solomon, the writer of Ecclesiastes, was an extremely wealthy man (Eccl. 1:12). He tried to find heaven on earth and had the means to live as luxuriously as he could wish (2:1-10). Yet he wasn’t satisfied. So disillusioned was he with life, he described it with just one word—“vanity” (or “meaningless”). And he repeated the word eight times in chapter two alone. As long as he looked only at life “under the sun” (2:18), he felt hollow and dissatisfied. All of his striving was ultimately futile. There would come a day when he would have to relinquish his possessions and leave them to someone else (v.18).

If you are a Christian, you can look to Christ’s promise of a heavenly home He has gone to prepare (John 14:2). That’s why Paul advised those who are enjoying what God has given: “Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth” (Col. 3:2). Don’t try to find heaven on earth. You won’t—no matter how hard you look!

Lightly hold earth’s joys so transient,
Loosely cling to things of clay,
Grasp perfections everlasting,
Where Christ dwells in heaven’s day! —Bosch

Those who have their hearts fixed on heaven will hold loosely the things of earth.

Bible in One Year: Ezekiel 18-19; James 4

That's a picture of me swimming at Rainbow Bridge!! You can see my head-- I'm the grey spot on the far right just above the rock.

The leaves are pretty, too.

I plant flowers when I'm not swimming.

Good Sunday Morning

Thank you, JOHNN, for sharing your lovely poem.

He shall also Confirm you unto the End,
That ye may be Blameless in the Day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
God is Faithful, by Whom ye were Called
Unto the Fellowship of His Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

(1Cor.1:8,9)

A Blessed Lord's Day to Amy's Place
