“If you give your soul up to anything earthly, whether it be the wealth, or
the honours, or the pleasures of this world, you might as well hunt after the
mirage of the desert or try to collect the mists of the morning, or to store up
for yourself the clouds of the sky, for all these things are passing away.”
~Charles H. Spurgeon

I pray you are bestowed with a wealth of the Lord's riches this week!

Beautiful thoughts.
ReplyDeleteI love that verse, Debby. I actually have the chorus on the bottom of my blog - just so I remember that nothing I could ever want, or ever want to achieve in this life, can compare to the incomparable riches of knowing Jesus.
ReplyDeleteI really, really liked your photo. A good reminder that the things of this earth can *rust* away - and all that matters is the treasure we lay up in Heaven.
GOD BLESS!
Thank you Sharon,
DeleteThere is an old mountain man near our cabin in Fancy Gap, VA that has a line of these old rusted out vehicles right off the road. Every time I went by them I wanted so badly to take pics...I finally got to and the first thing that came to mind was that these used to be someone's brand new treasures...and now look at them.
Have a great week!
Your post rings a song in my mind and heart, "That I rather have Jesus than world's treasure..." Love your post!
ReplyDeleteHe is the only thing that really matters! Thanks for visiting me :)
DeleteThey sure do fade away, Debby. I pray daily for a mind that is turned toward heavenly treasure.
ReplyDeleteSame here, Alison...we take nothing material with us with us when we die, do we?
DeleteMany, many years ago... May of 1966... shortly after I had come to the Lord, on a Sunday evening, I sang this song. Jim Reeves had been singing it on radio, and he was one of my favorite singers, and the words in this touched me big time. I was 20, turning 21 in July, and had been raised in poverty, abuse, and was one of the angriest kids in those days. And then the Lord broke in and my whole life began to change. That song was very truthful...and still is. I love it.
ReplyDeleteYou grabbed my heart!! Thank you.
Oh, Caryjo...YOU have blessed MY heart with your beautiful testimony! Here's the thing that would have made it even better...when I was searching Youtube for a video, the one of Jim Reeves actually came up and even though as a kid, I listened to him and loved his voice, I thought no one else would know who he was! I should have gone with my first instinct! It is such a wonderful song and I am so glad I was inspired by God to share it...if for no one else but you!
DeleteBlessings,
Debby

I haven't heard that song in years, yet the words came right back to me! Love that old car too!
ReplyDeleteAnita,
ReplyDeleteIt certainly is a great old song isn't it? This old car is only one of about a half a dozen all lined up in a group....some of them even older than this. I just loved the color of this one.
Dear Debby,
ReplyDeleteI also agree from my very depths of my breath! Jesus is my everything! I hope your doing well and enjoying this season. I think your lettuce post was so good! My chickens are not to happy about it LOL
Blessings, Roxy
What do we have if we don't have Jesus, right? So, Roxy...you must have tried the lettuce thing? If it works as well for you as it does for me, well....sorry chickies :(
DeleteBeautiful song, just beautiful! Have a great weekend!
