TURNING MOMENTS INTO ETERNITY
Scripture:
Your throne was established long ago;
you are from all eternity. — Psalm 93:2
you are from all eternity. — Psalm 93:2
How can we, who live in a finite world where everything
is temporary, understand the concept of infinity?
is temporary, understand the concept of infinity?
Our lives are only a wave in the vast and endless sea of
eternity. Sure, we can make a lot of noise with our
voices and pound the pavement with our feet, but very
quickly, we will return to the quiet stillness of the sea
from which we came. What’s a wave in comparison to
the great ocean? That’s our lives in contrast to eternity.

I used to have a teacher that would often preface our
Bible study by reminding us that we were “turning
moments into eternity.” When we do good deeds and
study God’s Word, we create moments that last forever.
Most of what we do in our brief lives is gone and
meaningless once we leave the world. But our good
deeds last forever. They live on for eternity.

Considering that truth, how will we spend our time
today? Will the hours be lost once they pass, or can
we make them last forever? What can we do today that
will turn our moments into eternity?

UNIVERSAL CHILD
(LET US ALWAYS REMEMBER THESE WORDS
ESPECIALLY DURING THIS HOLIDAY SEASON)
ESPECIALLY DURING THIS HOLIDAY SEASON)
TO ALL CHILDREN
How many mountains must you face before you
learn to climb? I'm gonna give you what it takes,
my universal child
learn to climb? I'm gonna give you what it takes,
my universal child
I'm gonna try to find a way to keep you safe from
harm I'm gonna be a special place, a shelter from
the storm And I can see you, you're everywhere,
your portrait fills the sky I'm gonna wrap my arms
around you, my universal child
harm I'm gonna be a special place, a shelter from
the storm And I can see you, you're everywhere,
your portrait fills the sky I'm gonna wrap my arms
around you, my universal child
And when I look into your eyes, so innocent and
pure I see the shadow of the things that you've
had to endure I see the tracks of every tear that
ran right down your face I see the hurt, I see the
pain, I see the human race And I can feel you,
you're everywhere, shining like the sun I wished to
god that kids like you could be like everyone
pure I see the shadow of the things that you've
had to endure I see the tracks of every tear that
ran right down your face I see the hurt, I see the
pain, I see the human race And I can feel you,
you're everywhere, shining like the sun I wished to
god that kids like you could be like everyone
How many tumbles must it take before you learn
to fly? I'm going to help you spread your wings,
my universal child
to fly? I'm going to help you spread your wings,
my universal child
I'm gonna try to find a way to keep you safe from
harm We're gonna be a special place, a shelter
from the storm
harm We're gonna be a special place, a shelter
from the storm
I can feel you, you're everywhere, shining like the
sun And I wished to god that kids like you could
be like everyone And I wished to god that kids
like you could be like everyone
sun And I wished to god that kids like you could
be like everyone And I wished to god that kids
like you could be like everyone
(Annie Lennox - Universal Child Lyrics)
I PROMISE!!!!!

LET US REMEMBER PLEASE
When life takes us on all sorts of strange twists
and turns, let us remember that it’s not we who
are driving the car. The Lord Almighty is guiding
us, and He knows exactly where we need to be.
Sometimes it seems that things aren’t going the
way that they should be, but we must have faith
that it’s all part of God’s plan. Our job is to keep
on trucking, and trust God to take care of the
blessings.
