June.07.01: Light For The Day - "Heaven" -- Matthew 6:19,20 (RSV) "Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth,  where moth and rust consume and where thieves  break in and steal, 20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven,  where neither moth nor rust consumes and  where thieves do not break in and steal." ----------------------- "Heaven" There'll be no unemployment in heaven. No worry about the next meal. There'll be no bills to harass us, and thieves will not break in and steal. In heaven, we'll have no need for money; Everything up there will be free. We'll enjoy God's unsearchable riches, and have unending security. I'm looking forward to heaven, that land that is fairer than day. Where all will be joy and gladness, and sorrow and care will flee away. Up there, no mean words will be spoken. Each heart will be filled with pure love. We'll never be hurt or rejected, in the beautiful city above. There will be no disappointment or heartache. God will wipe all the tears from our eyes. No one will ever be lonely, and there'll be no anguished good-byes. Up there, the love we have for each other, by each heart will be shared equally. And we'll have all the things that we've longed for, and at last we will really be free. -- Margaret Wilson Owsley --------------------- -- Psalms 136:26 (RSV) "O give thanks to the God of heaven,  for his steadfast love endures for ever."
