I was reading the last few chapters of Isaiah this morning and longing for the days of a new heaven and new earth.  I had a conversation yesterday about the thought of the imminency of the kingdom life and how that redeems so many aspects of life.  However, I cannot wait to receive the new body.  Aches, pains, allergies, sickness…all such a hassle, but they sure do make us depend on God.  I had a friend who is having terrible problems with his foot.  He works out a lot, and it appears that he has developed a heel spur, which is incredibly painful.  Fortunately, he has found a good place online to diagnose it and discover some treatment ideas.  As he makes his recovery, I thought I’d get him a gift to help cheer him up, and I found this sweet pirate belt buckle online.  I know he’ll love it!  Praise God for the simple joys in life that we get to have in Him as our bodies temporarily deteriorate away.
