Until then, I can anxiously await no more tears, or sorrow, no more separation, no more ugliness. Praise God! Whatever Heaven really is, I wonder if it really matters? We only need know our Savior is there. Our God is there. Others too. I also wonder how much of our thoughts in this life are elementary? We're down here thinking of golden streets (1+1=2) when in reality heaven is so much more than we can dare to imagine or comprehend.

At the time she said that, it was our dollies. Through the years it changed - it was basketball courts when my youngest son was 14 and discussing how bored he'd be in heaven. It's now bikes and ramps for our 14 yr old grandson. We had a glance at heaven the final 24 hours of my mom's life. She was in and out of sleep, completely lucid with the most wonderful dreams to tell us between her naps. Quite lovely and very clear that it is a place we want to go. Not receiving God's redemptive work through Jesus at Calvary means eternal separation from God - I cannot even imagine how hellish that would be.

Since I met you on Bronwyn's blog...Dear Andrew,<br />Since I met you on Bronwyn's blog I have been praying for you and will continue to. I am in southern Ontario in Canada. The coyotes started in around 2 am, which got the 8 dogs in our house barking and the rest of the guardians of the surrounding farms howling in chorus. Maybe so I would spend time in the Lord for you. I would like to be able to send you the perfect version of Bridge Over Troubled Water, all your favorite hymns, all my favorite hymns, and then all the music you can let pour through you. You remind me that Heaven is not just then and there but here and now. Thank you, Jesus, for your presence with Andrew. Your newest grandmotherly friend, LaurnaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12984617784527265301noreply@blogger.com
