Flowery thoughts?

I love the smell of fresh cut grass or gazing at beautiful flowers in a vase. Both of which soothe my soul. But as I meditated on the truth of 1 Peter 1:23-25, I pondered the connection to the grass clippings my husband was now blowing off the drive way and the vase of flowers that was growing stinky and having to be tossed.

"For you have been born again, not of perishable seed,
but of imperishable,
through the living and enduring word of God.
For 'All men are like grass,
and all their glory is like the flowers of the field;
the grass withers and the flowers fall,
but the word of the Lord stands forever.'
And this is the word that was preached to you."

We are soon to unzip this tent of flesh and step into eternity. All that surrounds us is perishable...like the grass in my driveway. But the Word of God, the very breath He has breathed on the page of Scripture, is eternal. What eternal words are YOU memorizing? What are you setting your mind on...the temporal (finances, material possessions, even worldly pain and suffering?) or the eternal Word that will outlast all of what we see now? Let's pray for eternal perspectives not 'flowery' thoughts!
