Eternity
Have you ever pondered ETERNITY?
When does eternity start? AT THE MOMENT YOU ACCEPT JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR SAVIOUR!! .....I had never viewed it that way until yesterday when reading 2 Corinthians 4:18
"[18] While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
Chapter five goes on to talk about our bodies, etc. and being clothed by God. Verse seven is:
"We walk by faith and not by sight" and then a couple of verses later:
9] Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.
Have you ever thought of some of the things we would be doing if there were no eternal sight?
Maybe: not witnessing, not reading the Word, not teaching or telling others of the hope that is within you, spending ALL your time as you desire.....working or playing, not mindful of others,self centeredness, etc........
Sounds as though we are a lot like that anyway......not caring to look at our living for God, praising Him, glorifying Him, telling others, going or sending others in our place to spread the Word (Thank you, Rita and family, Jackie, Rebecca and others for going for us!!)....
IF I truly am clothed in righteousness, as a daughter of the King, I must serve my Lord and Saviour in the light of eternity as it is taking place.........N O W!

Thanks for the reminder that we must develop an eternal mind set.

This is off the subject, but digital scrapbooking doesn't stay in the computer...you print out the completed pages adn have a "real" scrapbook. Plus, once you download all the pretty papers, stickers, etc (for cheap, and a lot are free) you can reuse them! It's teh best of both worlds.
