Making New, graphite in sketchbook 

Day 43 (Wednesday)  

We place our hope in God.
We sing of a life beyond life       
     and a future good beyond imagining:       
     a new heaven and a new earth,       
     the end of sorrow, pain, and tears,       
     Christ’s return and life with God,       
     the making new of all things.
We yearn for the coming of that future,
even while participating in eternal life now.  

What is “life beyond life”?
How do you currently participate in eternal life? For what more do you “yearn”?
