Hmmm/Day the sixth

Dearest you,
This is going to be a bit shorter than the others...just as a warning :)

"The Purpose Driven Life" day six: Life is a Temporary Assignment.
"Lord, remind me how brief my time on earth will be. Remind me that my days are numbered, and the my life is fleeting away." -Psalm 39.4
"I am here on earth for just a little while." -Psalm 119.19
*Our identity is in eternity, and our homeland is heaven.
*Earth is just a temporary residence. We won't be here long, so we shouldn't get too attached to the world.
*We are preparing for something soooooo much better.
*The fact that earth is not our ultimate home explains why, as Christians, we experience difficulty, sorrow, and rejection in this world.
*It also explains why some of God's promises seem unfulfilled, some prayers seem unanswered, and some circumstances seem unfair. This is not the end of the story.
*We're not completely happy on earth because we're not supposed to be.
*All that is not eternal is eternally useless. -C.S. Lewis
"We fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal."-2 Corinthians 4:18
Point to ponder: This world is not our home.



I read a book that made me cry. I studied geometry formulas that I will never use outside high school. I went hand surfing on the air with the car window rolled down. I considered major life principles, and whys?. I solved no questions. I beat my brothers at a word game. I ate more melting Easter chocolate. I helped my dad (see, Papa? I'm talking about you :P) with a top-secret project. I was not attacked by wasps. I let my hair dry in the sun, and my soul bask in the Son. Praise God for words!

Con amore,
Sophie
