Something good to think about

It is difficult to make it through this life without being down. Terrorists killing innocent people, murder, rape, robbery, violence, mayhem, perversion, divorce, lying crooked people and crooked lawyers seemingly getting away with everything under the sun, it seems evil abounds everywhere. When I start getting down or overwhelmed by it all, I like to read about heaven in the Bible. I like to envision the river of life running through heaven clear as crystal. Ive seen some crystal clear rivers out west and wonder how they compare to the ones in heaven. I wonder at the tree of life that will bear twelve fruits, one for each month of the year. What will the tree look like? Will we be allowed to eat from it and if so, what will the fruit taste like? I wonder about the light emitting from heaven that John described as being crystal clear like a jasper stone. He also described heavens walls the same. Foundations adorned with jasper, emeralds, sapphires, and precious stones of every description and streets of pure gold that look like transparent glass. I wonder how the music will sound with Gods personal choir of saints and angels singing songs of praise. Will there be an orchestra of heavenly musicians? I cannot wait to see angels and other creatures that God has created. Most of all I wonder how it will feel to kneel before the majestic throne of God and to view the face of our Savior. How will His voice sound? What will He look like? I wonder how our glorified bodies will look and how it will feel to never have any aches or pains, or to be sick. I wonder if we will spend time with friends and family. Im curious as to how the food will taste, I assume that my favorite meal, hamburgers, chips, sour pickles and chili will be replaced by something far better. Im sure John had great difficulty finding words to describe the beauty and wonders that await us in heaven from the quick look he was allowed.

Somehow all of the problems that I face are not so important anymore. I look forward to heaven with great anticipation.


Rev. 21:4

And God will wipe away every

tear from their eyes; there shall be

no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying,.

There shall be no more pain, for

the former things have passed away.


Will there be day and night in heaven?

Rev.22:5
