i often think longingly of heaven....


maybe this is why.....

"There shall be no weariness in heaven;
There shall be no earthly labors to distract our attention.
Here,
on this present earth,
the cares of the world are constantly breaking in,
and these poor,
frail bodies of ours
do often bind us down to the earth by their weakness,
even when the spirit is willing.

We may be on the mount for a
short season
some times ~
but our powers are soon exhausted.

But there we shall have no
wandering thoughts,
no distractions,
no bodily wants,
we shall never faint."
jcryle

Off and away
from here in the morning
for a brief few days of repose from the ceaseless
cares of the last four weeks.

for now,
cathy

You posted this on a night when I needed it. Tonight we laid to rest a friend at seminary who died suddenly on Good Friday. It has been an emotional evening to say the least. Thank you for this.
