So, What Will Heaven Be Like?

How wondrous will the end of the trip be?
Those of us who are Bible-believing Christians know that if we put Our Lord and Savior first in our lives and try as hard as we can to live as He asks that at the end of our life on earth we will inherit the Kingdom of God for eternity.  Think about it and what that means.  Our life on earth is just an ink spot on the time of eternity, so if we believe and do as He asks to the best of our lives we will find a wondrous and joyous permanent eternal home with him in heaven.  That brings up a very good question, since we don't really know just how wondrous heaven will truly be, so let's ponder. What  do you think from the perspective of your life experience will heaven be like?  I'll give it a shot, realizing that I have no way of knowing but from my earthly perspective these are some of the things that I would like to see.

Those of you who know me are aware that I love the sea and I love horses and both of those natural things require a wide expanse of area, so I think I am fortunate, for I can picture a beautiful green meadow full of beautiful grass and flowers on high and dry land overlooking a deep blue sea.  Now, I won't have to worry about shelter for all things are bright and beautiful.  So, I will be able to live outdoors without fear of skin cancer or other mortal issues and enjoy the beautiful views and the wonder of watching  the grace and joy of horses running wild and free.  They will be there since they are now part of my soul along with dogs, cats and beautiful birds who don't have to be tended with arthritis and other ailments.

Since there is no physical limitation or boundaries and there is no fear of death, wild animals will become tame and live peacefully among us and visits with the Lord our Savior and the Father will be nothing more than receiving the call and we will be with them in the City of God, golden and shining in the sunlight.  The same will apply with regard to past loved ones who are also present; we will see them readily, only they will look radiant and still have a youthful countenance.  When God calls us all together in a Temple of Gold, it will hold all heavenly souls and we'll rock the house with joyous praises in song, amazed that we now have the voices of a professional choir, only even better.  And even though we have no earthly needs, there will be joyous fellowship gatherings where everyone is there and gets along and the food will be indescribably delicious.

God will assign us work, but it will be done with our new, perfect bodies that will allow it to be done without pain and with joy in our hearts and we will sleep in the open under the stars as all eternal living things will be in harmony with the heavenly hosts.  Imagine lying in a soft meadow looking up at the stars, crystal clear and bright and perhaps a faint hint of the City of Gold will show on the horizon, just a hint of it's wonder that still won't alter the view.  Oh, I could go on forever as I try to imagine the beauty but, of course, it may be nothing like my thoughts at all.  But, one thing I know for sure.  It won't really matter then at all, for what we will find will be so beyond anything imaginable and so wonderful we won't give it a second thought. We will be well aware at the point of entry that we have succeeded with the greatest success a mortal could ask for at the conclusion of mortal life: Eternity.

So, now readers, is there any one among you who would like to take a stab at describing what heaven will be like to you from your current earthly perspective. If so, send me a note as a response to this blog and I'll be back in touch. Don't worry, your contact email will not show on the blog but only by the Administrator who is me.  Whether anyone wants to post a guest blog or not, I hope you will give the exercise a try. If nothing more, it will help you maintain your faithful focus for putting your eye clearly on the prize.  God bless you all.
