It is less frustrating when we ask directions before trying to find a place.

Some days it is hard to remember we are just sojourners on the way to our Home. If feels like this is our home, because we have been visiting for so long....but remember this is just the road trip to get home. I do not know about you, but I loath a long road trip....some days it's like Chevy Chase's vacation movies or RV (for you younger guys) and other day it seems like the best vacation ever. None of it will compare with the feeling we all know "when we are so glad to get back home".
My love to you all.....glad you are all my travel buddies =D

Beyond Imagination!

READ: Revelation 21:1-8
[It has not] entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him. —1 Corinthians 2:9


A college professor at a Christian school perceived that his students held a distorted view of heaven; they considered it to be static and boring. So, to stir their imaginations, he asked them these questions:
“Do you wish you would wake up tomorrow morning to discover that the person you loved most passionately loved you even more? Wake up hearing music you have always loved but had never heard with such infinite joy before? Rise to the new day as if you were just discovering the Pacific Ocean? Wake up without feeling guilty about anything at all? See to the very core of yourself, and like everything you see? Wake up breathing God as if He were air? Loving to love Him? And loving everybody else in the bargain?”
In response to that professor’s intriguing questions, the students all lifted their hands. If that’s what heaven will be like, and even infinitely more so, they certainly wanted to be there.
“I go to prepare a place for you,” Jesus told His disciples (John 14:2). We all share the desire—really a deep-down yearning—to be in that glorious home forever. It is a place of indescribable bliss. And the supreme blessing will be the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ Himself! — Vernon C. Grounds
When we all get to heaven,
What a day of rejoicing that will be!
When we all see Jesus,
We'll sing and shout the victory. —Hewitt

The greatest pleasures of earth cannot be compared to the joys of heaven.
