Lots of great insights here. I especially loved how Jesus seemed sad to send you back to help him here and how his best day will be when we are all there!
Thank you for giving us these little glimpses of heaven! I love this story about God wanting to follow Linda around like a puppy dog. After so many years of trying to live in the ‘present moment’ it is so different that joy could be found meditating on thoughts of heaven instead.
Isn’t that the truth! I have tried throughout my adult life to be “eternally-focused” but it was nothing compared to my heavenly focus now. lol! Perhaps that was the purpose. Puppy 🐶 dog story is one of my faves too! Thanks for reading. I still have a hard time believing that people are actually reading my/God’s words here. Thank you for commenting!
You are very welcome! Btw have you heard of Richard Baxter - he was from the 17th century, and he made a commitment to meditate on heaven for 30 minutes a day.
Thanks, Marci. I was hoping it was not too scripture-heavy. lol. But as you read, I need to break it into two parts. There’s just so much to absorb! And I get so excited and have to share it. 😄 Thank you so much for reading, and for your support. It means a lot.
Thanks for sharing, Craig. What awaits us is beyond words. And of course, so many of us have loved ones there awaiting us too. I’m so glad you don’t have fears around the process of it.
Revelation 22:20 he is coming again!
I’ve heard the dead will rise with the living in Christ
I’ve learned a lot more now thank you 🙏
My pleasure. 😇 Thanks for reading.

It’s going to be one big happy party! 🎈 Thank you for reading, Jan. That means a lot to me.

NO!!! And that is awesome! Is there a book?! I will look him up. Thank you so much!
Yes just looked it up he has a book called The Saints Everlasting Rest, and I think that’s where the info on meditating on heaven comes from.
Wow - it was originally published with 46 chapters but now condensed to 16. What are we missing? 😩
When I looked on audible I saw two versions, so I got the longer one.
Thank you!! 😊 I’m excited.
me too actually! I found it on audible so just bought it.
Wow, this is so comprehensive! Great insights and Scriptural references.

I for one love life, feel blessed beyond belief and experience deep joy independent of circumstances.
At the same time I am not afraid to die. Faith is the foundation of my joy. I can only imagine what awaits ….
