Heaven

I think it is only appropriate that we as christians think about heaven and long for the day we will be there. The way I see it, looking forward to heaven is like looking forward to a nice big meal after a hard day's work... Only infinitely better! I don't know about you, but I get immensely excited when I read or hear about heaven.

 I love reading about others who have died and seen the after life yet somehow lived to tell about it. There is a best selling book about this topic.The book is called "Heaven is for Real" and its about a little boy who died in surgery and went to heaven, but recovered from the surgery and lived to tell of the things he saw. While in heaven he said Jesus sat him on his knee and had the angels sing to him because he was scared. He saw his miscarried sister (which he did not know he had) and saw he great grandfather. He even heard talk of the Armageddon and saw the wounds on Jesus hands, both things he had not yet learned about. Is that not incredible?

I love to imagine how heaven may be! What will Jesus look like? Will there be animals there? What will it smell like? What will it feel like? Probably like nothing I've ever imagined!

Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.You know the way to the place where I am going. John 14:1-4

I'm so excited to see what God has in store for his saints!
