"Beautiful valley of Eden!/ Sweet is thy noontide calm;/ Over the hearts of the weary,/ Breathing the waves of balm./
"Beautiful valley of Eden!/ Home of the pure and blest,/ How often amid the wild billows/ I dream of thy rest, sweet rest!" [Cushing, 1877]
"For the Lord shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the Lord; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody." Isaiah 51:3
Today's to do: long for that Heavenly Eden; remember the joys up there when I am weary; find joy in the journey to Heaven; have a good day.
