created for eternity

It is rarely good when you’re awake to see today turn into tomorrow.  But often in those late night hours God does a doing on my soul that — albeit painful to arrive at — I am grateful it was done.

And this weekend I needed the reminder that death’s sting hurts because my heart longs for longevity and life abundant.
“He has made everything beautiful in its time.


He has also set eternity in the hearts of men..


…yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end.”

Loss on any scale opens our hearts again to griefs mourned in the past;  but my heart sings as I am soberly reminded that I was created for eternity and I cannot fathom the loving brilliance of my Heavenly Father’s method.

How good it is to trust that nothing could separate me from the love of God.

    Hi Sam & Ashley,

    Never thought when I hired that skinny college busboy/waiter at America’s Keswick, that I’d be writing to his married son (and wife). I’m sure your family is proud of you.

    You have a beautiful page and I want to come back and read (and look at pictures) again and again.

    It’s almost 8 months since my Christine went to be with Jesus…I miss her terribly, but take comfort in that we’ll be together for Eternity with Him.

    Thank you…and Lord Bless You both as you serve Him….Paul

    PS: Are you the Sutter son that had the snake or one of your bros ?
