fine dining


This is for Sandy....
so that you can see the fabled linen runner.

Possessing an Eternal Perspective on Sickness

"You need not be cast down by sickness.
The eternal part of you is
safe & provided for,
whatever happens to your body.

You may well
look calmly on death.
It opens a door between you and your inheritance.
You may well
not sorrow exclusively over the things of the world~
over partings and bereavements~
over losses and crosses.

The day of gathering
is before you.
Your treasure is beyond reach of harm.
Heaven is becoming every year
more full of those you love,
 and earth more empty.

Glory in your inheritance!
It is all yours if you are a child of God.

"If we are children, then we are heirs."
