In the introduction to 2nd Corinthians I found where I had previously hi-lited this and proves interesting---allow me to share--speaking of Paul

"No doubt feeling the aches and pains of his many beatings, shipwrecks, and at least one stoning, and frequent deprivations, Paul reminded the Corinthians that the physical body is only a temporary abode.. In other words, life on earth is like camping out for a few days. Death, when it finally arrives, simply means that the believer leaves behind a leaky, patchwork, travel-worn tent and steps into a wondrous permanent body designed to last forever. The child of God, then, is not claimed by death but is "swallowed by life"---(5:4)--------For all the anxieties, pressures, and disappointments we wrestle with, it is encouraging to remember that God"s people are only on a temporary assignment in the wilderness of this world, where their aim is to point fellow travelers to the Way and to be "well pleasing to Him." (5:9)

My thought here, back in 1st Corinthians 15 Paul writes concerning our resurrection and compares it to a seed planted and what that seed grows into. A tiny, little ole seed is put into the earth and it comes up a beautiful flower, one little ole seed of corn is planted and bingo up comes a stalk with ears of corn and a lot of new corn seeds.......My life---Your life---it is like that when we step off into eternity-----Good thoughts for the beginning of a good day
