WHO WOULD SERVE GOD WITHOUT HEAVEN?

Aren’t we like that sometimes? We have so much that when we lose something it isn’t that big of a deal? I read this week about an actual Ebay listing for a 1962 Ford Thunderbird Convertible...it had 5,487 original miles...in perfect showroom condition. A man called about it and he asked the

Consider this poem entitled “If We Trust”:
When the frosts are in the valley,
And the mountain tops are grey,
And the choicest buds are blighted,

A loving Father whispers,
“This cometh from My hand,

Where ye cannot understand!”

I was working with some particularly complex lab equipment last week, and it was not doing what I needed it to do. After I got it working, I realized that the words I was muttering under my breath as I struggled with it were not songs of thanksgiving. I won’t quote myself. But I am reminded by
