Eternal Gifts

“If you give your soul up to anything earthly, whether it be the wealth, or the honours, or the pleasures of this world, you might as well hunt after the mirage of the desert or try to collect the mists of the morning, or to store up for yourself the clouds of the sky, for all these things are passing away.”

― Charles H. Spurgeon

Lord, take my focus off of the glittering things of this world, for they are transient. Even if I wanted to, I could not keep them. Instead, keep my heart on everything spiritual, for they build my soul, keep a strong relationship with you, and will last eternally. Thank you for your good gifts.

After raising a family and then teaching for over 20 years, I retired from full-time work. Now I spend time with family, tap dance, take long walks in nature, read, and write. I have published two stories in Chicken Soup for the Soul books and over a dozen devotions. My current goal is to publish a book of meditations over the gospels and to share my devotional writing on my blog. I hope you enjoy and are inspired.
