i have not really been doing a great job of updating my blog, not that i have many insightful things to share. BUT, i did come across this hymn that i believe is so fitting for this season we are rapidly approaching. Just wanted to share it ;)

Lay aside your passing pleasures

look beyond what cannot last.

Shallow hopes are mere distractions.

Earthly comforts soon are past.

See in Christ a grand horizon.

Find a life more rich and vast

Raise your eyes and see the Savior,

feel His love, and hear His call.

follow Him in self-denial.

Find your Father all in all.

Take the cross, accept the suffering.

Soon the cost will seem so small.

Gladly trade your crumbling treasure.

Gain the pearl of greatest price.

Life is more than pain and pleasure.

Life in Him is true delight.

Find your freedom,

find your glory,

find yourself in Jesus Christ
