Prayer for the Day

Lord, as the days grow shorter and the moon and stars light our drive home, we grow tired. The comfort of a fire, a warm blanket soon become the perfect cure for fatigued bodies and minds. Yet, we are reminded to keep watch for the new things you are doing around us. Help us care for these wonderful bodies you have created, and make us ever mindful that the end of times is not destruction of what is, but the fulfilling of what will be. Amen

Question

What does it mean to you that these bodies of ours will not be destroyed but fulfilled?
