Saturday's Snippet

Revelation 22:5

And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.

Good morning - it's Saturday!

Over the past three years, my husband and I have traveled a lot, mostly due to his being an evangelist. I will have to be honest and say that I have enjoyed the traveling (for the most part). During the past few days of travel, we have visited with relatives who I have not seen for several years. It's been fun yet bittersweet because I do not know when I will have the privilege of visiting with them again (if ever). 

We've visited quite a few cities along our journey, passing through many more than we visited. They all boast of their attractions, restaurants, and lodgings yet we know that this journey on earth is temporal. Nothing lasts. All good things and all precious times come to an end. But, this life is not all there is for the born again Christian. All the glory of heaven awaits, with Jesus at the center of it all. My soul is anxious to live forever with my Lord, far from all earth's issues.

Here's the chorus that is on my mind today, adding the final touch to our snippet of a spoonful of tonic:

I'm going to a city 

Where there'll be no more night

I'm going to a city 

Where Jesus is the light

The trumpet's gonna sound

And I'll be caught away

I'm going to a city someday

May your Saturday be sweet and until tomorrow, Lord willing..............
