It is true that what man sees as having value is foolishness to God. Often things of utmost value in the moment can become meaningless a short time later. Only things for God will last.James Janzenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11473962030348123468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8933957650347452922.post-35038507581120590542009-06-05T14:49:49.882-07:002009-06-05T14:49:49.882-07:00What a great post Julie!

When my mom passed away and now again this past week as a dear friend passed away, I pondered my own entrance into heaven, meeting Jesus face to face. My prayer continues to be...make me more like you Jesus.

Sometimes we really don't know what will have lasting impact. Your post is encouraging and thought provoking at the same time.Anneliesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10288355284573379421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8933957650347452922.post-35727467224754213472009-06-02T09:20:54.590-07:002009-06-02T09:20:54.590-07:00Such a neat illustration you gave us.

I got to take a field trip to see Treasure Island live at a theatre in Minneapolis/St. Paul while in fifth or sixth grade. That was big doings for a girl born and raised in northern Wisconsin!Candyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04048593039250301480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8933957650347452922.post-50878869162895016372009-06-01T12:17:30.885-07:002009-06-01T12:17:30.885-07:00You have told us a very good story; I could feel t...You have told us a very good story; I could feel that same despair and embarrassment. And then such an analogy to the future. It is certainly food for thought. Thanks for sharing that, Julie.

And how well I remember Long John Silver...and my stern English teacher who brought Treasure Island to life for our class. <br /><br />Thanks for the reminder to be faithful servants!Judy https://www.blogger.com/profile/00929685771427155673noreply@blogger.com
