Something to meditate on for the rest of our earthly lives

"Labour to obtain such a disposition of mind that you may choose heaven

for your inheritance and home; and may earnestly long for it, and be

willing to change this world, and all its enjoyments, for heaven.

Labor to have your heart taken up so much about heaven, and heavenly

enjoyments, as that you may rejoice when God calls you to leave your best

earthly friends and comforts for heaven, there to enjoy God and Christ."

The Christian Pilgrim, Jonathan Edwards, Sept 1733
