DAILY?READINGS: 1 Kings 13:1-32; Jeremiah 23; Colossians 1:21 to 2:7
In my Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. John 14:2
I was standing on the water’s edge with our granddaughter as my husband reversed the barge away from the shore. “Poppa,” she called, “see you soon. We’ll be home soon.” She was still calling as the barge set off across the bay, and shortly afterwards it vanished from sight. Maybe today you have a Christian family member who is nearing the end of their earthly life. Be encouraged—they’re going home and soon we’ll be there too and we’ll see them again. —J. Fleming
Remember in life’s darkest hour,
Is when hope’s light shines bright,
We’ll meet you in the morning,
So till then it’s just goodnight. —J. Fleming
