Forever by Faith

Am I a leaf upon a tree

or just some driftwood in the sea?

Am I a flower soon to fade

or just a cloud that blows away?

~

For if my life has value here

teach me Father what is dear

Do I hold onto jewels and gold

or is there more than I’ve been told?

~

Is life a school and testing ground

until much wisdom has been found?

Or is it love that I must know

to reach the pinnacle of growth?

~

Is the answer found in your Word

where You esteem even a bird

or on a cross at Calvary

 where Jesus set the sinner free?

~

Should I believe a perfect God

 could love sinners–it does seem odd?

 Your Love’s much deeper than the sea

that You would save a wretch like me

~

What must I do with this good news?

Should I tell all your Son’s the Truth?

For we’re grass springing up today

quick to wither and pass away

~

Though our Lord died upon a tree

He rose from the dead bodily

And He’ll return to claim his own

 immortals to be taken Home.

I was raised in a family that didn’t talk about spiritual matters. 

~

~

God worked through various people outside of my family

to quicken my heart spiritually.

~

~

Do you ever think about what will happen after you fade from this earth?  

~

~

Death is our biggest denial.

I took these pictures at Filberg Park in Comox earlier this month.

~

~

My husband and I went in the morning before it was too hot outside.

~

~

There were so many lovely flowers,

and the bees were in a good mood.

(We were too.)

~

~

The Filberg estate was donated as a park

by the original owner when he passed from this earth. 

~

~

I often wonder what the gardens in Heaven will look like–do you?

All men are like grass,

and all their glory is like the

flowers of the field;

 the grass withers and the flowers fall,

but the word of the Lord stands

 forever.

1 Peter 1: 24-25
