Breath By Breath...

Seeing all the flowers on Sunday at(all photos on this post taken there)refreshed the enthusiasm of working in my own gardens...(until I cut through the internet cable with my edger!)Happily the efficient repair crew has it up and running again! Sharing a few more peony photos from Sunday... *** Each day holds starkly sudden transportsFrom Time into eternity, for… none knows whoBehooving us to consider things we often don’t!Each breath, each hour, each step, each graceDrawing us toward One Universal Certainty. The other day I read this quote;‘We often say life is short. Enjoy it!It would be better to say,‘Eternity is long. Prepare for it!’ Breath by breath we draw towardThe moment when we meet the LordDear one, tell me, who can affordTo ignore what is certainHour by hour we bide our timeUntil life’s clock is drained of chimeAnd death reveals the mystic climeVeiled by breath’s wafting curtain Step by step, soul carves its flightTo endless day or endless nightWhere none returns from thence, to citeIts horrors or its wondersGrace by grace, we face todayDear one, fall on your knees and prayFor, in each breath eulogies playAnd eternity thunders © Janet Martin Therefore I will always remind you of these things, even though you know them and are established in the truth you now have.  I think it is right to refresh your memory as long as I live in the tent of my body,  because I know that this tent will soon be laid aside, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me. ...
