Grammys Corgi Country

Out here in Corgi Country, we depend on mailed movies for a lot of our entertainment. We don’t have satellite or cable, which so often have a bunch of nastiness on anyway, so we only get a few of the main channels that we pick up with our old-style house antenna.

Yesterday, we were listening to the new Indiana Jones movie and one of the characters made an interesting comment that suddenly got my attention. He said, “We seem to have reached the age when more and more things are being taken away from us…” I thought about that for awhile, and that IS kind of true if you look at it in one way, but if you look at it through Christian eyes, actually it is a time when I feel like I’m storing more and more of my treasures in Heaven, where the Bible says that rust and moths, etc. can’t destroy or steal them.

After all, what are our REAL treasures but those people that we love and the good things we do for others. For me, it is my mom and my dad… aunts, friends, some of my special kids, etc. So many of those that I love are already there now, and it will be such a joy to see them, and NEVER lose them again. What wonder and happiness to see my special kids being able to walk and talk and play, and to see my Mom no longer cancer eaten, but strong and healthy… to see ALL of them that way.

One of the most important promises in the Bible, to me, is the passage that is talking about being changed and then snatched up to heaven. It says that “Death, has been swallowed up in victory…” (I Corinthians 15: 51-58).

Promises like that one that God has made to ME and to all those who Jesus died for and who accept that gift of life, turn from sin, and follow Him, are so precious. I have learned over the years, that I CAN trust Him to keep His promises because He proved that He loved me by sending HIS son to pay for my sins. He has shown me over and over, when I’ve had faith in Him, that He will work things out for the best for me and those I love. THIS is what gives me joy and peace in my life now.

I enjoy my life here now with my corgis, in this beautiful place, and I know that someday I will be with those I love in another beautiful place.

Hope to see you there someday… I wish you faith, hope and love…
