Temple

Temple

my body is a temple; the Holy Spirit has a life-time lease...

there's a little snow on the roof now, and some of the doors are creaky and some of the windows are drafty,

but the general structure is fairly sound...

of course, the zoning of this temple's neighborhood has changed some over the years...

no major yard work or heavy lifting is allowed anymore...

but I can be the reader on Sunday morning, and I can still lift the telephone to call my prayer partners,

and I can recount this temple's history to the young builders around me...

"didn't you realize that you were God's temple and that the Spirit of God was living among you?...the temple of God is sacred; and you are that temple." I Corinthians 3:16 & 17b
