Eternity's Mirror

 

I tend to view the circumstances in my life in the here and now,

but when I stop and listen to the Holy Spirit,

He breaks through the window of my life and shows me

how to see things through His eyes.

 

I do not want to minimize the circumstances you or I may be in,

for we all have moments, days, even long periods of times when circumstances

seem to be too much. These circumstances may change or stay with us the rest of our lives.

Perhaps like me, you have a physical disability that may not change.

Perhaps a relationship is tearing at your heart.

Perhaps you do not feel God's presence and wonder if you ever will again.

These and other circumstances are very real, I know.

 

But just for now,

stop and read the prayer below.

You may want to make it your heart's prayer...

 

 

 You may want these words to be your heart's words...

 

So we fix our eyes not on what is seen,

but on what is unseen,

since what is seen is temporary,

but what is unseen is eternal.

2 Corinthians 4:18

 

 

It is my heart's desire that I may learn to take each circumstance in my life and hold it up to the mirror of eternity. I know I have a long ways to go to remember to do this, but perhaps by writing this, I will be reminded to do just that. Perhaps by reading this, you, too, may choose to join me.

My Heart - God's House

"Imagine yourself as a living house. God comes in to rebuild that house. At first, perhaps, you can understand what He is doing. He is getting the drains right and stopping the leaks in the roof and so on; you knew that those jobs needed doing and so you are not surprised. But presently He starts knocking the house about in a way that hurts abominably and does not seem to make any sense. What on earth is He up to? The explanation is that He is building quite a different house from the one you thought of - throwing out a new wing here, putting on an extra floor there, running up towers, making courtyards. You thought you were being made into a decent little cottage: but He is building a palace. He intends to come and live in it Himself."

— C.S. Lewis (Mere Christianity)

 

 

 

Tumblr ~ My Heart's Home and Garden

I recently learned about a free blogging service called Tumblr from my blog friend, Zuzu, @ A Cottage in the Woods.  I liked the idea of posting some of the photos I have saved all over on my computer into 1 spot, and so I am posting home and garden photos and perhaps a quote now and then.

This is a photo I posted of Beatrix Potter's home, Hill Top Farm.

You are welcome to have a look at My Heart's Home and Garden photo and quote file,

and perhaps you will want to start one, too.

If you want to know more about how to use Tumblr, Zuzu has

 an excellent post that explains it far better than I can! (Plus, she has a wonderful blog!!)
