Hello Sarah,
I hope you will be fully recovered soon.
I live in the UK, in Wales, on the top of a hill which overlooks a valley in which two other valleys meet: and where the rivers which forge them converge and make their way to the sea, eight miles away. The wooded hillside opposite is where my Father was born, and it's slopes take the eye forward and up the valley leading to the mining village where I was born. The chapel in the valley below the hill is where I was nurtured and brought up to know the Lord Jesus Christ as my Saviour.
Yes, the view from my window contain so many memories. It is a wide vista, and takes my eyes towards where my daughter lives on the way to the coast with her family, and in the other direction to the market town where my other daughter now lives with her son.
There is another vista, which lies within, and does not rely on sight, and as I get older it stretches and broadens, peopled with experiences and reasons to rejoice - Praise God!
You also have a vista like that Sarah, I know. Although not as long and broad as mine, it is also filled with reasons to be glad and to praise God, so we will praise Him together, in the sure knowledge that the work He has begun in us, He will continue to do, until the day of Jesus Christ, and then we will be with Him for eternity.
Thank you Lord, for such a wonderful hope of resurrection life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Love in Christ Jesus, Sarah,
Christine
