Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.
John 14: 1-3
Have you read Randy Alcorn's book Heaven? I also was challenged by his book Safely Home!!
Do we spend more time planning our next vacation, than we do preparing for eternity?
I think my house is going to be high on a river's bend (maybe the river of life, which flows from the great throne). I'm going to have a big picture window looking out over the river, and a picnic table and barbecue next to the river's edge, and Dan will cook me his fabulous tri-tip and Jake will provide the deer meat of course Kristy brings the dessert. We will have a big rock on the bend and Sam will fish from there. We will listen to the peaceful sound of the rolling river and in the evening Joe, Elizabeth, Lindsay, and Kathryn will play soothing music. Ben and Kristin will be playing with all the kids at the river's edge. Of course Bonnie and Dean will come by in their kayaks.
Shall we gather at the river???
Shall we gather at the river,
Where bright angel feet have trod,
With its crystal tide forever
Flowing by the throne of God.
Yes, we'll gather at the river
the beautiful, the beautiful river;
Gather with the saints at the river
that flows by the throne of God.
