Milepost

Those of you who read yesterday's post will realize that today is a significant milepost in my life. I reflect on the past as I realize that, I, albeit undeservedly, have had 20 years of extended life. Twenty years seems to be a long, long time. Yet, it pales into insignificance when compared to eternity.

Extended life in the here and now is good. Nevertheless I look forward to that day when time shall be changed into eternity. Death will have lost its sting and the grave its victory. You may have lost a loved one to the grave. Take heart. A day is coming when according to the promise 'there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be anymore pain for the former things are passed away'.

I've learned to smile in adversity because I'm assured that joy comes in the morning.

Blessings
