A Sonnet on Memories in Heaven

Consider what an amazing thing it is that God is there to help us through remembering in heaven that our minds may be in tact for he is made even more useful to us.

BEST GIFTS MAKE GOD USEFUL

John, a son of God according to the will of Christ

With the glory the Father's as is his custom and way

We owe all to him and give him the glory as priced

Whether precious or noteworthy or leaves each day

In heaven I am told our memories to God are gold

But what are gold to us may not be so much to God

For though there is glory in giving us good I'm sold

There is more glory in all we've been through outlawed

For things he saved us from are more grand and his best

For what is better a murderer like Saul or Paul

He is there to help us deal with at our behest

A humbling thing to us a triumph in his call

To pull a brick from sludge and then be bold

And change it to purest silver, a thing to behold?
