Measure of Mortality...

May and June are months for us, that include many milestone celebrations,reminding us to cherish each other while we may,and trust the Hands that measure out ourmortality...before immortality! 1 Cor.15:54When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.” I LOVE misty, minty-green June morningsa-dazzle with dewdrops! Our measure of mortalityOur sum of numbered daysAre not ordered by you or meBut by God's perfect ways The author of each life ordainsIts beginning and endThe sacred part between remainsThat for which we contend Not for our own merit or worthBut by the grace of HeWho made the heavens and the earthWho fashioned you and me …and measures our mortalityWith love beyond our kenWhose thoughts and ways are trustworthyForevermore. Amen Fleet measure of mortalityFrail veil of breath betweenThe entrance to eternityAnd the part that is seen © Janet Martin 2 Cor.4:18So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. Rom.11:33-36Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out! 34 “For who has known the mind of the Lord?Or who has become His counselor?”35 “Or who has first given to HimAnd it shall be repaid to him?” 36 For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be glory forever. Amen.
