Sometimes I like to think about heaven and compare it to the life that I know here on this earth!

 

In heaven we won't hear any words like 'Alzheimer's, cancer, diabetes, joints that need to be replaced, and.......' This time we will have new bodies. The kind designed to work and run forever.....

 

There won't be any 6 or 10 o'clock news reports of child abuse, inhumane cruelty of a country's leadership of their people, a spouse murdering his/her spouse, not enough food for some people in certain parts of the world. We will all live in harmony, love, filled with compassion one for the other.....

 

No phone calls in the middle of the night with words that we would just as soon not hear. No bad news. All the news will be good. Not just sometimes, nor now and then. But everything we hear will be good, great, and wonderful!

 

Every report will be as wonderful as when we hear exhilirating words, "It's a boy (or a girl)!"; "How do you like my new car, job, home, or....." No reports like "I was layed off!"; "How are we going to pay for health insurance?"; "He doesn't love me (she doesn't love me) any more!"; "I have been feeling depressed lately!:...

 

No, this time we will hear words like "loved forever", "feelings of great joy", "singing a new song", "new bodies", "new duties", "restored relationships".....

 

This winter after a week-plus in Florida, where the weather basically didn't dip below 70 degrees the entire time we were gone; we wanted to go back to our home in Iowa...to weather that was 50 degrees colder than where we had been. But after we have been gone awhile, we tend want to get back to our familiar surroundings, family, and friends...

 

Heaven is like that, too, I think. After we have been gone for a number of years, we tend to want to go back home.

Where there is always Love. Where the surroundings are familiar. Where there is always enough of everything for everyone, and never a lack. Where we can continue relationships of family and friends........

 

Where there are only "hellos," and never any "good-byes"....
