The Gift of God - Eternal Life

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. — Romans 6:23

Today Abby and I went for a walk around our neighborhood.

Caution tape is still on all of the park benches and playground equipment, but at least we can stroll along the paths now.

The clouds overhead kept moving in and out, giving us a nice cool breeze alternating with hot sun.

Just as we would get too warm, another cool breeze would come our way and the clouds would cover the sun for a few minutes.

God is that warm sun in my life.

Just as the cool breeze of cares of the world come my way, God pushes aside the clouds so I can feel His warmth surrounding me.

It was just a year ago that Abby was graduating from college.

This week she starts the summer session of her graduate school.

She is disappointed to have to take online classes this term instead of in-class or zoom meetings.

But we are glad to have her home, and we feel her undergraduate season finished just in time.

God has given us the gift of eternal life.

He is merciful.
