Contemplate Eternity

How can you contemplate eternity?
For it has forever existed and will ever exist.

From our first cries on earth to our last breath
Back into eternity our spirits came into being
Long before it rests within the body we host for it.

Eternity is never changing and never stayed.
Yet it is ever changing and always stayed.

Eternity is with us with each waking moment
And each sleeping hour.
We hold hands with eternity as we
Dance in the sun and rain and cry through the joy and pain.

Eternity influences our choices that map our earthly course
with its twists and turns that lead through the roads of life.

Sometimes, those roads lead us to nowhere.
Other times it leads us to a placid lake mirroring the creator’s
reflections of his personal artwork.

Eternity claims us during our hurt, weary, anxious or ill times
It seems to escape us in times of laughter and peace yet it remains
Constant each moment.

We travel along this earthy existence forgetting that
Eternity indeed is our constant companion:
as we are now, As we were before and as we always will be.

Numbers cannot account for its magnanimous existence
Nor can a clock stop its fortitude in perseverance to carry on.

You may not see, feel or hear eternity
Eternity has never or will never cease to exist.
We, you and I, are eternity and just like eternity we will always be.

That's means alot coming from you, I absolutely LOVE reading your blogs.

You know, "If you could Hie to Kolob" is one of my very favorite Hymns. It's sad it's only sung every 10 years. When it get's to the final parts of "there is no end..." I find myself sobbing.
Apparently the only thing about that song that ends is the song itself ;)

you know within a couple weeks of my last comment, I've sang that song twice! How's that for promptings?
