Traveling Light

For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.”  1 Timothy 6:7

This brings to mind a Bill Cosby comedy routine where his father would tell him he brought him into this world and he can take him back out.

Lord, we desire to keep Your perspective and priorities in mind today.  And here’s a simple poem . . .

Burdenless

We came into this life
with nothing

source – bubblecrew.net

and surely in it
we’ve nothing but Christ

and when it comes
time to leave

we’ll be carried off
oh so light.

  6. Adding pictures was a huge accomplishment for me! haha! I know reading blogs where pictures are included helps me to understand better, leaves a visual with me as well as the words.
