BOTH REALMS IN US
BOTH REALMS IN US
Grandma knew. And brought us through. Leaning on the everlasting arm. Grandpa did too. Leaning on his, hers, theirs, and Heavenly Father's strong right arms, under their own vine and fig tree. Their children like laden young olive trees planted around their table, his wife a fruitful vine at his side. Both cosmically blessed by God in Heaven who brought them and their forebears to this place for a reason and for a season that we cannot know nor need to know!
Praise be to God for us, for them, for theirs, and for God's Earthly embodiments and heirs: those sons and daughters of Earth, each epitomized in and symbolized by Jesus Christ, who was born to woman of spiritual semen to bind both realms in us: divine and human!
