Enjoyment of God!

March 6, 2009

"The enjoyment of [God] is the only happiness with which our souls can be satisfied. To go to heaven, fully to enjoy God, is infinitely better than the most pleasant accommodations here. Fathers and mothers, husbands, wives, or children, or the company of earthly friends, are but shadows; but God is the substance. These are but scattered beams, but God is the sun. These are but streams. But God is the ocean."

Hi Gisele,

Great quote! I haven't worked on any of my blogs in quite awhile, but I happened to pull up one I had started (and quickly realized I had NO extra time to do something so crazy! :)) and saw you had posted a comment... back in January, lol! I emailed Becky about Apple Hill, and we were looking maybe at April?? She said you were interested, which sounds like a lot of fun! Hopefully we can all find a date that works for everyone! Have a great week - Michelle
