Sunday morning arrived right on time and in this part of the world the sunrise came quickly and it was a sight to behold. Today in America we celebrate Father's Day. I am not sure if it is observed around the world or not. But today I prayed for all of those who are fathers and for those without their own children. I also pray for them as they are father figures to someone. I have attached a photo of a Father's Day memory that was made for me by our grandson many years ago. It means a lot to me. I just poured myself a large cup of Door County Cherry Creme Coffee and now it is time to write.
Lastly as we look into developing an Eternal Perspective, we find that we need to withdraw from the invasive noise of this world so that we can hear the sounds of another place and another voice. The Bible tells us in Luke 5:16 Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed. I find this extremely convenient to be writing about this on Father's day. Jesus, unlike the religious leaders of his day, did not pray to be seen and heard by men. He prayed because he treasured fellowship with his Father, our Heavenly Father! If we also desire to live with an eternal perspective type attitude we should follow the lead of Jesus. Matthew 6:6 "Go into your room and close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret , will reward you."
Matthew 6:19-21 "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on Earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
So today once again or for the first time, open your eyes and look at your surroundings with an Eternal Perspective and with heavenly colored glasses. You will see all things differently.
God Bless,
Marty
