The beautiful fireworks that lit up the heavens last night are finished -- the grills sizzling with delicious hamburgers and hotdogs are put away -- the loved ones from afar are on their way back home -- the house is quiet this morning, but my heart holds many sweet memories of the happy times we enjoyed together as a family this past week!!
And sometimes we might want this special time of family fellowship to continue, but we know (as Jesus told the disciples on the Mount of Transfiguration), they could not stay on the mountain--they had to come down. So today is Friday, and our duties of the day are well under way, and it is time to begin preparing our hearts for the coming Lord's Day, if Jesus tarries.
And, sadly, if some great tragedy has taken your earthly family, you can still be a part of God's great family! So, "Turn your eyes upon Jesus -- look full in His wonderful face! And the things of earth will grow strangely dim, in the light of His glory and grace!"
