Death, Heaven, Forever...they are a part of everyone's life.
We think about it sometimes daily, sometimes hourly and sometimes not at all because this "life" we are living here on earth is too busy.
This past week my dear SIL Megan had to say good bye to her Gramms. I really only watched this duo in action from afar, but it is very evident that there is and was a great love between her family and her Gramms. None the less this all got me to thinking about heaven.
I can't help but think how much heaven has changed for me over the years. From a simple explanation of where the kitten went to when it died to now a place that I look forward to calling my home. Each time another amazing person who touched my life leaves this earth to enter heavens gates it makes me even more glad to know that heaven will be there for me too.
Of course all this talk about heaven does not mean that I'm ready "kick the bucket". I'm pretty sure God's a whole lot more planned for me. None the less, since Eleanna died I have felt even more at ease with death, because well, if Heaven is a good enough place to send my precious Eleanna, then it must be good enough for me too.
I suppose that there are some at the end of their life that would feel the same way I'm starting to. I can only imagine that as my list of those I can't wait to reunite with in Heaven grown the fonder I will become of it. Of course there are moments where I wish for just a few moments...maybe in a dream I could hold my sweet girl, sit next to my Grandpa's and meet my Father in Law. Till then there will be times where I think of heaven as a wonderful place that I will get to some day. Just like all those places on this earth that I would love to see as well.
On my journey to heaven Megan's Gramms's service reminded me that it's important to Pray, be joyful, do it anyway and love... It always amazes me how God uses his people to give his grace to this world. Thank you Betty for being a part of God's Grace (Agape) in my life.
