It’s Coming this Rewind

Okay, so I’m finishing this in the wee hours of the morning as I fell asleep.  We’ve been packing to go camping in the morning.  I’ll need to be up in five hours gasp!   Anyways, rewind it’s a hard word to come up with something you know?  BUT I think I got it figured out with “It’s coming this rewind”.     To rewind is to take a step back and try again.  Or possibly to put something back into it’s original positioning?   

Anyways, let me know what your thoughts are eh?

It’s Coming this Rewind

A co-worker is having fun
he’s cleaning out the basement at work
slowly and surely
moving out the old
tidying up the relatively current
and making the off-season into groups
for ease of finding it.

Yesterday, we laughed!
He brought up a bunch of glasses
back from the 80’s and
a whack of 8-tracks.
the young men at work had
too much fun trying on glasses
and pulling off different stances.

Oh, but we laughed
and it was like a temporary
rewind on life sharing humour
with each other.

The glasses made their way
to the local thrift store that minds
the needs of the poor in the community.

The 8-tracks found their
way into a co-workers collection
(I think) or perhaps a potential
money-making venture.

But the laughter made it’s
way into our hearts
and made the rest of the workday
lighter and easier.

Isn’t it funny how a moment
out of the ordinary can reset
an entire day?

Consider then how the world
has been slowly failing.
Yet in a twinkling of an eye
the Lord will return and
the world will be made new.

It will experience a total rewind
in essence.
Everything will be made brand new.
I can’t even conceive of what that
might mean since I live in a world
steeped in sin.

What will happen when all the effects of
sin are removed?
Will carnivores develop the teeth of
grass eaters?
What will mosquitos feast upon?
The scream that plants give out when
cut or pulled will that cease?
Fair wages for hard work? Or perhaps
no work at all for pay cause utopia?

So it’s coming this rewind
of heaven and earth.
In the meantime, let’s enjoy
those moments of rewind that
are presented eh? 🙂

God Speaks

1 Corinthians 15:50-53

⁵⁰ I tell you this, brothers: flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. ⁵¹ Behold! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, ⁵² in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed. ⁵³ For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and this mortal body must put on immortality.
