“As for Bilbo Baggins, even while he was making his speech, he had been fingering the golden ring in his pocket: his magic ring that he had kept secret for so many years. As he stepped down he slipped it on his finger, and he was never seen by any hobbit in Hobbiton again.” _J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring
We are sometime told to look at the big picture when faced with the daily frustrations and tasks of life.
Well today, remember to look at the really big picture—eternity.
Today, tomorrow and the next day is not all there is. Long after this entire universe has cooled into a lifeless darken graveyard you will still be alive.
No matter the pain, problems and perplexities you may face today; and no matter the success, satisfaction and superlatives this day may bring, remember there is more—much more, whatever you do, don’t lose sight of that.
- The ONE THING for today: Live your life with eternity in mind.
2 Peter 3:13 (NKJV)
Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.
If we all lived like that what a wonderful world it would be. Well said dear Pastor that is the secret of a happy life. Live each day like you are going to heaven to be with Jesus and you will have peace. Love and miss you and praying for you and the family.
