Someday We'll Understand

This morning I discovered the following poem in the Pilgrim Scribblings archives. It's short but powerful. Be encouraged, dear friends, knowing that God knows every heartache and every trial that we presently face. We are NOT alone!

I Shall Know Why

I shall know why when time is over,
And I have ceased to wonder why;
Christ will explain each separate anguish
In the fair schoolroom of the sky.

- Emily Dickinson 1830-1886

lovely ...

and i wonder if the earthly hurts will matter - when we are with Jesus?

the questions we thought so important here - how important will they be then?

just wondering outloud ...

blessings!
