Waking Up......

In the midst of celebrating WAKING UP, as a grand and exciting event, my friend, Suzanne, reminds me that if I do not wake up here, I’ll wake up in Heaven, and that can’t be bad. “We can’t mourn that,” she says... INDEED!! What a good reminder!!

I have seen into Heaven – I have heard it – I have stood at the edge, already. I have never seen or heard anything that made me want to avoid it! I have always returned here because it wasn’t the right time. The last time, in fact, that I stood there, Jesus told me “There is NO hurry....”

OK, then....

There is still more life here, for me! After which, I WILL be dancing in Heaven – I’ll be dancing with Julia Law, with Anna Larkin and with Donald Morgan, who will teach me how to tap dance!!

I will not be sorry to be there – I will not be feeling that I “missed” anything – I will join the great cloud of witnesses – I will be praying for YOU. Let me take a moment to think about the “eternal perspective.” People get lost in believing that they will “miss” their children’s lives and accomplishments, the graduations and weddings and births. The truth is eternity with Jesus allows us His perspective on events. We will see those events, from Heaven! And, understand them, all the more --- without fear, doubt, confusion, hopelessness.... WOW!!! What a joy!

I will be exploring the Lord’s paradise! I will be completely absorbed in wonder and amazement!!

WHEN that happens, please don’t cry! Please shoot off fireworks and shout towards the sky! Please celebrate that I have entered ETERNITY – which is exactly where I’ll be when you come, too! I will ask to be on the Greeting Committee, at the Gate!
