Publisher's Synopsis
For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. - Romans 8:18
In just a few months I will enter my eightieth year on this planet, a fact that produces certain harsh realities. When I look in a mirror I see someone who is balding and slightly wrinkled and doesn't resemble the man I grew up with! I still think young thoughts and have dreams and goals that I will never fulfill. The pains I remember are much worse today than they were in days gone by. I'm slow getting out of bed and have to shake off cramps in my feet and legs when I do. My eyes don't focus the way they did when I was young, and I take blood thinner just to stay alive.
Can you relate to these things? Well, cheer up. The best is yet to come. Someday we will be caught up together and meet the Lord in the air. That's when we will be with the Lord and enjoy an eternity without pain, sorrow, tears or death! What more could we ask for?
