Prayer: Father, thanks for the splendor and magnificence of this temporary dwelling, earth. I can experience all of its wonder everyday. Moreover, its beauty makes me anticipate the amazing beauty of the heavens. The greatness of your creation is reveled in heaven, and that is where life really starts. Thanks for preparing a place that far surpasses my imagination. Help me to build up my spirit so that I feel worthy of your generosity."For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known."--1 Corinthians 13:12
