Measure of Mortality...

May and June are months for us, that include many milestone celebrations,
reminding us to cherish each other while we may,
and trust the Hands that measure out our
mortality...before immortality!

1 Cor.15:54
When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable,
 and the mortal with immortality, 
then the saying that is written will come true:
 “Death has been swallowed up in victory.”

I LOVE misty, minty-green June mornings
a-dazzle with dewdrops!







Our measure of mortality
Our sum of numbered days
Are not ordered by you or me
But by God's perfect ways

The author of each life ordains
Its beginning and end
The sacred part between remains
That for which we contend

Not for our own merit or worth
But by the grace of He
Who made the heavens and the earth
Who fashioned you and me

…and measures our mortality
With love beyond our ken
Whose thoughts and ways are trustworthy
Forevermore. Amen

Fleet measure of mortality
Frail veil of breath between
The entrance to eternity
And the part that is seen

2 Cor.4:18
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.

Rom.11:33-36
Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God
! How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out!

34 “For who has known the mind of the Lord?
Or who has become His counselor?”
35 “Or who has first given to Him
And it shall be repaid to him?”

36 For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, 
to whom be glory forever.
 Amen.
