For we know in part
and we prophesy in part,
but when perfection comes,
the imperfect disappears.
When I was a child,
I talked like a child,
I thought like a child,
I reasoned like a child.
When I became a man,
I put childish ways behind me.
Now we see but a poor reflection
as in a mirror;
then we shall see face to face.
Now I know in part;
then I shall know fully,
even as I am fully known.
Paul — The First Letter to the Church at Corinth 13:9-12

I wish I was perfect 😉 I know i can be childish. ahhhhhhh xoxo melis
But we are called to be child-LIKE, which I think is just a step or two away from childish. At least I hope it! 😉
Hello katharine!
I woke up singing (just in my head, thankfully) Sandi Patti/Wayne Watson’s Another Time and Another Place
Then I read your post and it took me there! 😉
“So I’m waiting
For another and another place
Where all my hopes and dreams will be captured with
one look at Jesus’ face
Oh, my heart’s been burning, my soul keeps yearning
Sometimes I can hardly wait for that sweet, sweet
someday
When I’ll be swept away
To another time and another place”
Thanks, friend!

You know, having songs floating around upstairs can be a wonderful blessing, sometimes! Thanks so much for this memory. I absolutely loved that song and I hope I can find a copy of it to sing along with (in the car) SOON! 🙂 Thanks, Debbie!
