Here's a bit of food for thought... Its a joke, of course... but it made me happy!
There is a very rich man. He is told that when he dies he can take one suitcase with him to Heaven, filled with anything he'd like... (please note: we can't take anything with us to Heaven.) After carefully deciding what to pack in his suitcase for Heaven (one again, please note: you can not bring anything with you to Heaven) the man dies. When he arrives at the "pearly gates" Saint Peter stops the man and says, "what's in your suit case?" The man smiles proudly and opens his suit case to reveal that his case is full of shinning bars of gold. Saint Peter just stares at the bars of gold for a moment before looking back to the man and asking, "Why did you bring pavement?"
"But gather and heap up and store for yourselves treasures in Heaven, where neither moth, nor rust, nor worm consume and destory, and where thieves do not break through and steal; For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." ~ Matthew 6:20-21
"Trust, lean on, rely on, and be confident in the Lord and do good; so shall you dwell in the land and feed surely on His faithfulness, and truly you shall be fed. Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires and secret petitions of your heart." ~ Psalm 37:3-4
Either Side of the River
"On either side of the river lie, long rows of barley and of rye, that clothe the world and meet the sky, and through the field the road run by to many towered Camelot...." - Lord Alfred Tennyson's, The Lady of Shalott.

You have a nice post. It is so good to hear that the best things here on earth are the lowest things in heaven. God is so much greater than we can understand. That is grand. Ryan
Whats sizzlin? Hay, I just wanted to say that its cool that u are useing the AMPLIFIED Bible. Not somthing that starts with an "N" end with a "V" and has a "I" in the mittle.:) But the AMPLIFIED just has so 'much more meat to it'(to quote Paul). Like in Psalm 37:4 it not only says He will give u your "Desires" but also the "Secret petitions of your heart." Thats why your cup over flows, because He gives u things u didn't even know u wanted. See, u want certain things so u already have an idea of how big your cup should be to hold the "Desires" that u know u want. The reason your cup overflows is because He also give u the "Secret" petitons desires and wants that u have that u may not even know that u have. So u have to enlarge your cup size (and even than, u can't out give God). I love it and I'm going to let Him bless me all He wants. I'll take it, all He's got prepaired for me, Pressed down, shaken together and overflowing baby. The Holy Thug.
