Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, To God's holy people in Colossae, the faithful brothers and sisters in Christ:
Grace and peace to you from God our Father. We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you, because we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love you have for all God's people— the faith and love that spring from the hope stored up for you in heaven and about which you have already heard in the true message of the gospel (Colossians 1:1-5 NIV)
Livia saw Dad's name "Timothy " so it grabbed her attention. The hope stored up for you in heaven and about which you have already have - reminds us of Uncle Dick. He is very sick and facing death and upon our visit yesterday he brought us hope! He prayed for us and he says "I'm ready! I'm ready! I don't care what I obtain - seeing Jesus is all that matters! A cardboard house in heaven will be perfect! ". Oh , to have that hope NOW - in the midst of our busy life! Yes Lord change us - transform our hearts to be filled with passionate hope!! We embrace you!!
