What matters more, the question or answer?
Is heavenly mindedness no earthly good?
Is tomorrow only as secure as today?
Does the knowing prevent us from the doing?
Where do beginnings discover their end?
Or don't ends decide where things begin?
Heavenly mindedness returns again,
Earthly good shall it surely send.
Earthly good shall it surely send.
Why do we suppose today is but today?
And not tomorrow, or some yesterday?
Where we are now can get in the way,
Of seeing how all is fitted and stayed.
Of seeing how all is fitted and stayed.
How can we see, if we aren't shown?
How can we walk, if we aren't grown?
How can we know, if we aren't given?
How can we be, if we aren't living?
A theorem is known when it is proved,
And motion occurs when objects are moved.
A question's meaning is in its answer:
Our earthly good depends upon Heaven,
Our today depends upon Eternity,
Our doing depends upon what has been Done.

I like.
Have you and the family been doing alright as of late?
@relishing_subtle_design - Our family is doing well Jacob, thanks for asking. The boys are getting bigger, getting into more things, and also proving God's grace to us more and more. There seems to be little free time these days, but I think it is a season rather than a long-lasting direction. How goes it with you and yours?
