ONLY SO LONG TO FULFILL

ONLY SO LONG TO FULFILL


We live in a
FINITE world=we have
ONLY so long
To FULFILL our dreams
For our lives


“Children=it is
The last hour” 1 John 2:18


As 2018 comes to a CLOSE=
Let us remember that
Our time on earth
Is SHORT


70 or 80 years=100 years
If we are so FORTUNATE


“Our days
May COME to seventy years
Or eighty-
If our strength endures........” Psalm 90:10


The end is always near=so
As we
BEGIN a NEW YEAR
Let us RAISE our glasses
In toast


To make this the BEST year
That it can be=
THE VERY BEST YEAR
Of our lives


Yes our God is NOT just
A God of endings=but a GOD
Of NEW BEGINNINGS


This is the DAWN of
A new year=a year in which
We strive for NEW BEGINNINGS


“In the BEGINNING
Was the WORD
And the Word
Was with God


HE was with God
In the BEGINNING” John 1:1-2


We have a LIMITED TIME
On earth=We have ONLY
SO LONG
To FULFILL the dreams
Of our life


But there is ALWAYS
HOPE in the Lord=one second-
One minute-1 hour-1 day
CAN make our dreams
COME TRUE


And so as TIME marches on=
We must REMEMBER our God
Is ETERNAL=and our standing
In life=is ETERNAL WITH GOD


“Your word-Lord-is ETERNAL-
It stands firm in the heavens” Psalm 119:89


“To those
Who by persistence
In doing good


Seek glory-honor-and immortality
He will give ETERNAL LIFE” Romans 2:7


Dear Lord=
You have given us
A life time=and we THANK YOU
For however long that we have


Your love EMBOLDENS US to
Love and serve you=this past year=
And the COMING YEAR 2019


As we have
DONE all the years of
Our life


HAPPY 2019 DEAR LORD!


We will SERVE YOU=all
The days of our life


PARTICULARLY this year


HAPPY 2019!=LOVE YOU ALL!


In Jesus' name
