Thomas ‘a Kempis Jesus hath now many lovers of his heavenly kingdom, but few bearers of his cross. He hath many desirous of comfort, but few of tribulation. He findeth many companions of this table, but few of his abstinence. All desire to rejoice with him, few are willing to endure anything for him, or…
Line Upon Line: May, 2012- May 9, 2015

Seeds planted years ago will grow in God’s timing….
