  • 2 Corinthians 5 New Living Translation (NLT)<br /> <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2">https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2</a>+Corinthians+5&version=NLT<br /> New Bodies<br /> <br /> 5 For we know that when this earthly tent we live in is taken down (that is, when we die and leave this earthly body), we will have a house in heaven, an eternal body made for us by God himself and not by human hands. 2 We grow weary in our present bodies, and we long to put on our heavenly bodies like new clothing. 3 For we will put on heavenly bodies; we will not be spirits without bodies.[a] 4 While we live in these earthly bodies, we groan and sigh, but it’s not that we want to die and get rid of these bodies that clothe us. Rather, we want to put on our new bodies so that these dying bodies will be swallowed up by life. 5 God himself has prepared us for this, and as a guarantee he has given us his Holy Spirit.<br /> <br /> 6 So we are always confident, even though we know that as long as we live in these bodies we are not at home with the Lord. 7 For we live by believing and not by seeing. 8 Yes, we are fully confident, and we would rather be away from these earthly bodies, for then we will be at home with the Lord. 9 So whether we are here in this body or away from this body, our goal is to please him. 10 For we must all stand before Christ to be judged. We will each receive whatever we deserve for the good or evil we have done in this earthly body.<br /> <br /> <a href="https://www.openbible.info/topics/new_bodies_in_heaven">https://www.openbible.info/topics/new_bodies_in_heaven</a><br /> <br /> <a href="https://www.desiringgod.org/articles/do-we-receive-our-resurrection-bodies-when-we-die-or-at-the-end-of-the-age">https://www.desiringgod.org/articles/do-we-receive-our-resurrection-bodies-when-we-die-or-at-the-end-of-the-age</a><br /> <br /> What will we look like in Heaven? - Got Questions?<br /> <a href="https://www.gotquestions.org/look-like-in-Heaven.html">https://www.gotquestions.org/look-like-in-Heaven.html</a><br /> <br /> <a href="https://www.biblestudytools.com/topical-verses/bible-verses-about-life-after-death/">https://www.biblestudytools.com/topical-verses/bible-verses-about-life-after-death/</a><br /> <br /> How You Will Look in Heaven!

During the 1880s the lower east bank of the Mississippi River was the site of a sawmill. But by 1915 the city purchased the area for use as a neighborhood park. Eventually, the site became known as Riverside Park and Munsinger Gardens, the latter section named in honor of a former superintendent of parks, Joseph Munsinger. Munsinger Gardens has experienced many different stages of development. Improvements to the gardens occurred during the Great Depression through the Works Progress Administration. Projects from this period included planting trees and flowerbeds. Other additions included the creation of rock-lined paths, a lily pond, and a fountain. However, most of the work in developing the garden was directed by Joseph Munsinger. The first greenhouse was built in 1938. While the original greenhouse is gone, new ones stand in its place, and garden staff continues the tradition of growing flowers that help beautify this wonderful jewel known as Munsinger Gardens..."

  • The Parable of the Great Banquet (Luke 14)<br /> <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke%2014&version=ESV">https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke%2014&version=ESV</a><br /> <br /> 12 He said also to the man who had invited him, “When you give a dinner or a banquet, do not invite your friends or your brothers[b] or your relatives or rich neighbors, lest they also invite you in return and you be repaid. 13 But when you give a feast, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, 14 and you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you. For you will be repaid at the resurrection of the just.”<br /> <br /> 15 When one of those who reclined at table with him heard these things, he said to him, “Blessed is everyone who will eat bread in the kingdom of God!” 16 But he said to him, “A man once gave a great banquet and invited many. 17 And at the time for the banquet he sent his servant[c] to say to those who had been invited, ‘Come, for everything is now ready.’ 18 But they all alike began to make excuses. The first said to him, ‘I have bought a field, and I must go out and see it. Please have me excused.’ 19 And another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to examine them. Please have me excused.’ 20 And another said, ‘I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.’ 21 So the servant came and reported these things to his master. Then the master of the house became angry and said to his servant, ‘Go out quickly to the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in the poor and crippled and blind and lame.’ 22 And the servant said, ‘Sir, what you commanded has been done, and still there is room.’ 23 And the master said to the servant, ‘Go out to the highways and hedges and compel people to come in, that my house may be filled. 24 For I tell you,[d] none of those men who were invited shall taste my banquet.’”<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.openbible.info/topics/disabled_people">http://www.openbible.info/topics/disabled_people</a><br /> <br /> <a href="https://salphotobiz.smugmug.com/Flowers/Mungsinger-Clemens-Gardens-St/i-FCMkW5x/A">https://salphotobiz.smugmug.com/Flowers/Mungsinger-Clemens-Gardens-St/i-FCMkW5x/A</a><br /> <br /> <br /> Good News Physically Challenged<br /> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/133973023445443/">https://www.facebook.com/groups/133973023445443/</a>
