the picture illustrates how i see life sometimes ... things aren't quite clear, they're just a bit blurred ... you can see the images, just not in that crisp, sun-drenched way ... but you see enough ... you know where the road is ... you can head in the right direction without fear of getting lost ...
and when i reached my destination the sun came out, shining brilliantly ... the same sun that was shrouded by fog and cloud earlier ... even though i didn't see it, it had been there all along ...
Faith is like radar that sees through the fog.
~Corrie Ten Boom, Tramp for the Lord
"Now we see things imperfectly as in a poor mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God knows me now."
I Corinthians 13:12

berrymom ... i love Corrie Ten Boom too - she literally went through hell and back, yet had the sweet fragrance of Christ through it all ... and i like to encourage myself with these kinds of posts, hoping that it works the same for others! blessings to you!
Your picture is very lovely, I can see it enlarged in my minds eye and hanging on your wall....smile. Thats just the way life is. We have enough light to keep on keeping on and then some. And when we get sunshine hours, wow, how good God is to us moment by moment. I love that verse. Wouldn't it be great if we could keep in mind all these truths at once? We would be spiritial giants....someday in glory the clarity will come as you quoted. Thanks for the loving and encouraging comment you left me yesterday. All praise to Him who reigns above... ps Corrie is such a wonderful lady...I admire her & her family greatly.
maggie ann ... amen, if we could just keep our eyes focused on that light uphead ... the One we are traveling towards! blessings to you!!!

debi d ... :o) ... i always tell myself that there is a lesson for me to learn around every curve ... sometimes i miss it because i get too wrapped up and busy - but my heart is blessed when slow down just a bit - reflect - and "see"!
David ... it is a sort of attractive drabness, isn't it! we had the blue jays game on last night and i was thinking about you and the new "season" in your life now ... may the Lord be blessing your socks off in your next phase of ministry!
