Roy your poem,
I'm here thinking; feeling what a wonderful feeling if we could fill our souls with joy and bottle it up so we could use the wonders when we are in need to feel the joy of love

This is great stuff to ponder. We should all consider the Now, Eternity and moments. They are all here for us to enjoy. As 'I AM' we should be present in all these wonderful days and nights we are surviving.
So many times we are caught up in our own busyness that we fail to enjoy each moment as a gift.
Thanks for reminding me, Roy. This is exceptional.
My best,
Marie

Oh how I wish I had that jar...if only for a day or two. I am waiting for a visit this afternoon and pray that it is a good one or at least not a bearer of even worse news. I pray that our Lord will hold be steady and give me the strength.

Hugs, Carol

I really enjoyed reading this, Roy :) This really opens the eyes.
Beautiful artwork too!
The last portion really captivated me:
For God has slain that demon, time,
and put it to the sword.
We can enjoy eternal now
its cost we can afford.

Thanks for sharing!
Always your fan,
Shana :)

This is a wonderful poem, Roy. I agree it would be so nice to safe joyful moments in a jar that we could return to during times of pain or sorrow. Sometimes it's harder to remember the joyful times, when we are overwhelmed by bad memories. Thanks for sharing.

I wanted to wait until I had 6 stars, so I could rate this the way I want to.
It is exceptional work. As usual, your deep faith is inspirational and calming in your words. The thought of capturing and saving the good times in a jar is creative but eternity is a question to ponder.
Blessings
Mary

I love your meditations on time and eternity, Roy! You do such a fabulous job and I imagine with you about the possibilities of "steaming moments in a jar to preserve them for tomorrow." Loved that imagery!

This is such a beautiful part of your excellent ballad:
Eternity's a moment's joy,
that's held in Heaven's cup.

I also enjoyed reading your Authors Note and spiritual references from the books of Exodus and John. Smiles, Janet

Thanks be to God that we can enjoy an internal life. I like the idea of putting wonderful moments in a jar to be enjoy at later times. As long as we have memories, that will have to serve as our jar. Wonderful poem.
