Gloria Gaither Quote

Posted on December 1, 2025 by bigskybuckeye

The things that matter the most in this world, they can never be held in our hand.

From Matthew 6:29-31: “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust consume and where thieves break in and steal, but store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

Gloria Gaither (born 1942) is a Christian singer, songwriter, and speaker. She performed with the Bill Gaither Trio from 1965 to 1991.

Each day, each moment is so pregnant with eternity that if we tune in to it, we can hardly contain the joy.

Silence is as deep as eternity, speech as shallow as time.

It is the heart that always sees, before the head can see.

Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881) was a Scottish-born essayist, historian, and philosopher. He was a leading writer of the Victorian era.

Eternity’s Treasure

Posted on April 24, 2024 by bigskybuckeye

From 1 Timothy 6:10: “For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, and in their eagerness to be rich some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pains.”

Many pursue worldly riches

Studying today’s balance sheet

Counting every single dollar

Sadly, sailing away from God’s fleet

Darkness harbors each earthly thought

Bending to desire . . . needing more

Chasing abundance without peace

Another day posts wealth’s losing score

Jesus speaks with Father’s wisdom

Holding eternity’s treasure

Teaching man to follow His light

Salvation’s gift fills mercy’s ledger

Enlightened spirit today sails

Sharing deposits of His grace

Leaving sinful journey behind

Jesus navigates faith to hope’s place

From Mark 6:35-37: “For those who want to save their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for My sake, and for the sake of the gospel, will save it. For what will it profit them to gain the whole world and forfeit their life? Indeed, what can they give in return for their life?”

Our Creator’s Infinity

Posted on April 21, 2024 by bigskybuckeye

From Genesis 1:1-2: “When God began to create the heavens and the earth, the earth was complete chaos, and darkness covered the face of the deep, while a wind from God swept over the face of the waters.”

Before mountains ever brought forth

Emptiness waits for its time

Then, Creator formed life at last

Dynamics endlessly rhyme

Nightly dance follows daily song

Morning’s sunrise shall renew

Creator’s everlasting time

Earth’s serenity in view

Delight in counting each minute

Time’s destiny in His hands

Creator’s faithful perfection

Ceaseless, unyielding commands

Dwelling place for generations

Harmony’s heavenly home

Creator’s time never stands still

Perpetual peace shall roam

Compassion breathes from time’s oneness

Love filling each endeavor

Our Creator’s Infinity

Forever joins forever

From Psalm 90:2: “Before the mountains were brought forth or ever You had formed the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting You are God.”

Our position in the Lord affects everything about us–attitudes, emotions, conversation, and conduct.

From Ephesians 1:20-21: “God put this power to work in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the age to come.”

Jesus . . . no roaming charges . . . no dropped calls . . . unlimited minutes.

From Matthew 28:20: “And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

Faith’s Heavenly Sunrise

Posted on December 31, 2023 by bigskybuckeye

From Genesis 1:3: “Then God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light.”

Horizon always glows

Light penetrates dark skies

Spirit opens hope’s rose

Raising faith to baptize

Daylight shall never bend

Angelic voices praise

Saints welcome every friend

Sharing faith, peace ablaze

Blessed day never ends

Creator’s light feeds all

Love shall always transcend

Taking faith’s righteous call

Every day always bright

Fields golden and ready

Sunlight’s descending flight

Feeding faith, rock-steady

Mercy flowing downstream

Faith’s heavenly sunrise

Eternity’s light beams

Witnessing Savior’s eyes

From Revelation 22:5: “And there will be no more night; they need no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their light, and they will reign forever and ever.”
