"Received up into glory."-1 Timothy 3:16
    
    We have seen our well-beloved Lord in the days of His flesh, humiliated and sore vexed; for He was "despised and rejected of men, a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief." He whose brightness is as the morning, wore the sackcloth of sorrow as His daily dress: shame was His mantle, and reproach was His vesture. Yet now, inasmuch as He has triumphed over all the powers of darkness upon the bloody tree, our faith beholds our King returning with dyed garments from Edom, robed in the splendour of victory. How glorious must He have been in the eyes of seraphs, when a cloud received Him out of mortal sight, and He ascended up to heaven! Now He wears the glory which He had with God or ever the earth was, and yet another glory above all-that which He has well earned in the fight against sin, death, and hell. As victor He wears the illustrious crown. Hark how the song swells high! It is a new and sweeter song: "Worthy is the Lamb that was slain, for He hath redeemed us unto God by His blood!" He wears the glory of an Intercessor who can never fail, of a Prince who can never be defeated, of a Conqueror who has vanquished every foe, of a Lord who has the heart's allegiance of every subject. Jesus wears all the glory which the pomp of heaven can bestow upon Him, which ten thousand times ten thousand angels can minister to Him. You cannot with your utmost stretch of imagination conceive His exceeding greatness; yet there will be a further revelation of it when He shall descend from heaven in great power, with all the holy angels-"Then shall He sit upon the throne of His glory." Oh, the splendour of that glory! It will ravish His people's hearts. Nor is this the close, for eternity shall sound His praise, "Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever!" Reader, if you would joy in Christ's glory hereafter, He must be glorious in your sight now. Is He so?

question(s) of the DAY!



We haven't done an Aloha Friday in awhile so thought today would be a good day there are two places that I'm going to post my AF to.  Each one asks a different question so here they are.   Leave a comment with your answer if you wish.....

First place is @ An Island Life  her question this week is....

When you’re short on time, what’s your favorite quick meal?

Answer:  Spaghetti  





What is your favorite summertime drink?

Answer:  Sun Tea




Don't forget about the FNSI tonight over @ Heidi's Don't know what FNSI is check out the details here.  I'm going to be sewing early today because of wedding tonight.  My plans are to sew from 1-3 but somewhere around the world it is night time and others will be sewing with me.

Now I must be off and get a little bike ride in ....



I don't know why because later this morning I have to walk a little ways to pick up my daughter's car from the mechanic.  BUT none-the-less flowers are needing a little drink of water at the church so I must ride my bike...OR walk to water them anyway I could use the exercise.  Happy day to you all.... and I hope you all decide to get some sewing in today.

    Quick meal on the run for me is a quick sandwich or a bowl of cereal. :) Favorite summertime drink is ice tea or iced green tea - if it's the happy hour sort of drink, pina colada or rum and coke. :)
