2 Cor. 4 16-18

So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.
2 Corinthians 4:16-18

The Voyage to Heaven

We shall not go to heaven sailing along with sails swelling to the breeze, like sea birds with their fair white wings, but we shall proceed full often with sails rent to ribbons, with masts creaking, and the ship’s pumps at work both by night and day. C. H. SPURGEON

    "These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." John 16:33. Have a
    blessed Easter weekend.

    Dear John and Henrietta,
    You will both remain steadfast in our prayers, that God may grant you that perfect comfort and peace and also the continued grace to say, "Thy will be done" in traveling this path that has been planned for you:
    Jesus knows the path
    before you,
    He knows each step
    you tread,
    He knows the lonely valleys
    And the mountains up ahead.
    he knows the bright
    and sunny days,
    The stormy and the gray;
    For he has walked
    this path before
    And will lead you
    all the way.
    by Maryann Shue
