VERSE AND VOICE FROM SOJOURNERS 23APR25

 THIS post reminds me of the promise of our faith, that there is eternal life after death, especially poignant with the passing of my mom on Easter morning this year.....

Verse of the day For our slight, momentary affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all measure, because we look not at what can be seen but at what cannot be seen, for what can be seen is temporary, but what cannot be seen is eternal. - 2 Corinthians 4:17-18 Voice of the day These distractions are guests, not permanent residents. - Julia Alvarez, “Tips for the Wayward Meditator” Prayer of the day Help us remember that these distractions are only passing guests, not permanent residents, as we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on the eternal glory that you are preparing for us.
