"His heavenly kingdom."-2 Timothy 4:18
    
    Yonder city of the great King is a place of active service. Ransomed spirits serve Him day and night in His temple. They never cease to fulfil the good pleasure of their King. They always "rest," so far as ease and freedom from care is concerned; and never "rest," in the sense of indolence or inactivity. Jerusalem the golden is the place of communion with all the people of God. We shall sit with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, in eternal fellowship. We shall hold high converse with the noble host of the elect, all reigning with Him who by His love and His potent arm has brought them safely home. We shall not sing solos, but in chorus shall we praise our King. Heaven is a place of victory realized. Whenever, Christian, thou hast achieved a victory over thy lusts-whenever after hard struggling, thou hast laid a temptation dead at thy feet-thou hast in that hour a foretaste of the joy that awaits thee when the Lord shall shortly tread Satan under thy feet, and thou shalt find thyself more than conqueror through Him who hath loved thee. Paradise is a place of security. When you enjoy the full assurance of faith, you have the pledge of that glorious security which shall be yours when you are a perfect citizen of the heavenly Jerusalem. O my sweet home, Jerusalem, thou happy harbour of my soul! Thanks, even now, to Him whose love hath taught me to long for Thee; but louder thanks in eternity, when I shall possess thee.
    
    "My soul has tasted of the grapes,
    And now it longs to go
    Where my dear Lord His vineyard keeps
    And all the clusters grow.
    
    "Upon the true and living vine,
    My famish'd soul would feast,
    And banquet on the fruit divine,
    An everlasting guest."

Busy Hands challenge

If not now...then when???  I have been saying I want to take part in Hopeful Threads monthly sewing challenges and just find excuses that keep me away.  Well, this month's project is touching close to home so I think maybe I'd better take part.  Her challenge this month is for Alzheimer's, Dementia or similar patients.  My dad is showing more and more signs of Dementia daily. He refuses to be tested, but Doctors and Nurses say he has it.  So I'm thinking I may make one for Hopeful Threads and one for my dad.  Sew I'd better be off and see what kind of items I can come up with...to fulfill this challenge.  If you want to know more about Hopeful Threads' challenges visit here.

    The Busy Hands Apron is such a great idea. I have seen them be a great source of entertainment for some people with dementia. You are to be commended for making one for both your father and another. That's very thoughtful of you. It is a struggle to work with people who have dementia sometimes. What works for one, may not work for another and what works one day, may not work the next. Caregivers find themselves constantly having to be flexible and try new things. It is an exhausting journey for both the individual with dementia and their caregivers. I was popping over from a Lovely Year of Finishes. I look forward to seeing how your aprons come out.
