Do your joints creak and crack? When I first get out of bed in the morning, I walk like I ran a marathon the day before. My ankles are stiff and hurt from all the sports I played when I was younger. My husband laughs at me, but he is not much better after his three knee surgeries. Between the two of us we laugh our way through the popping joints.
Reading our scripture passage for today, I am encouraged that one day I’ll have a new body. 2 Corinthians 5:2, 4 calls our earthly body a tent and when we get to heaven we will have a heavenly dwelling. Romans 8:23 says we will receive the redemption of our bodies. That will be so nice. I might miss the chuckles my husband and I share, but I’m sure I won’t miss how aging has taken its toll.
Heavenly Father,
Thank you for how you love us completely. You didn’t just stop with, sharing Heaven with us. You'll even give us perfect bodies with which we can spend eternity in. You are amazing. Help me remember each day as my body groans at me, that this is only temporary. Amen
