It has been on my mind so much lately. I'm glad because God wants us to keep it often in our minds. Sometimes it's hard for me to ponder Heaven, because I have so many questions about it. At times I feel like I'm not ready for it. I think thats a natural feeling though.
I have recently found out that two of my dear friends are very sick. One is a wife and the other is a wife and a mother. When I heard of this news my eyes look straight to Jesus and ask him why. Not that I expect an answer to that question since He rarely answers it. But He does promise His comfort, peace, presence, and protection. As my mind fills with sadness and questions, the Lord sweetly and quickly reminds me of our real home. The place where all his children will one day be. Heaven changes my daily perspective. My house being clean, getting a full nights sleep, bills being paid on time... all of that fades. ALL THAT MATTERS is our relationship with Jesus. If we don't have that, we don't have Heaven.
Today I explained to Drew that Jesus could come back to get us any day now. Her face lit up with excitement and she just laughed and said "I can't wait". Me either Drew :)
