I wonder what it's like in Heaven. We've all see the pictures of what Heaven is supposed to be like. Beautiful angels laying around on wonderful clouds. Aren't we taught that we have no physical being after life. How does that work? The kids believe Heaven is full of all the things you love most. That you will be with your family and friends that have gone before you. Rey believes that you can have all the ice cream you want in Heaven!
My question is, what does that look like? What do we look like? What can you do or have or feel or see? Do you get to pop-in every once in awhile and see your family? Do you ever feel sad that you aren't there with them or is feeling sadness not allowed in Heaven because it's only good things?
I absolutely believe that Heaven is for real. I don't doubt any of that. I absolutely believe that my loved ones are there. I just wonder where there is and what they are like there. Do you age in Heaven, or are my babies that have gone before me, forever babies? My sister forever 36? Will I see my sister in Heaven, my babies, my grandparents? Will I meet my husband's brother and grandparents that mean so much to him that passed before my time with him?
And today, I wonder if they have birthday parties in Heaven. I wonder if they get to have a big celebration and wonder if they are able to sense our urgent happy birthday wishes to them.
I loved this! I couldn't agree more about what it's all about. I've often questioned it as well. After reading the book "Heaven is For Real" I really did stop to think about it. Will we be forever immortal and get to "choose" our age once we enter Heaven's Gates? I believe that we will meet all of our loved ones but I do often wonder if my grandparents will be older or back in their 20's living their married years happily. And I often wonder about meeting my dad's real parents. Will it be the official meet and greet or do I just go on not knowing them forever? My dad was adopted and it was his wish to never meet them but in Heaven do we all sit down for a family dinner and talk about their reasoning for choosing adoption? So many unanswered questions but I'm trusting that the Lord will provide us with those answers someday. Love reading your writing still!
ReplyDeleteI wonder... And maybe they also celebrate their rebirth day when they reached heaven? I look forward to seeing our families & friends & pets. Lovely thoughts.
