Thank you, dear LORD,
For glimpses of Heaven you give
Those moments we connect
With future eternal bliss to live
A preview we see in
Towering snow-capped mountains
In foliage and flowers
In rushing waterfalls and fountains
And we hear Heaven’s voice
In the sweet notes of a soprano
Vibrating with our souls
An experience of our tomorrow
Images of angels and glory
Rush to the mind
Immersed in endless love and joy
As we will one day find
The fragrance of flowers too
Conjure a sense of Elysium
Hinting of fields of glory
In Your Kingdom to come
Even the feel of soft silk
And the taste of delicacy
Heighten our awareness
Of the Beauty that will be
So many whispers
Of the World that does await
So many signs of Heaven
For us to contemplate
Let us savor those moments
Sweetly speaking of You
And praise You for Promises
Of our eternal Home true
These moments remind us
Of the life yet to unfold
One of unceasing joy
Of love and ecstasy untold
Yes, thank you, dear LORD,
For glimpses of Heaven you give
Those moments we connect
With future eternal bliss to live

Purposeful Pathway
Philippians 3:20-21 (KJV)
For our conversation is in heaven;
from whence also we look
for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:
Who shall change our vile body,
that it may be fashioned like
unto his glorious body, according
to the working whereby he is able
even to subdue all things unto himself.
