Hi all!
Well, it's Christmas Eve. Yesterday I was reading the book, Heaven, and,
near the end, Randy gave a testimony of a father in bed dying, his son at
his side. the son said, "Dad, how do you feel?" In reply his father said,
"I feel like a little boy at Christmas Eve..." It certainly was fitting for
me to read those words during the Christmas Season. that's what the new
Earth will be like, and better! So let's not allow our expectations to run
too high in this life. when we do, we set ourselves up for disappointment
sooner or later. for those of us who grieve while others are more cheerful
than usual, please cling to the hope that you will see your loved ones
again, and that The Lord will redeem any suffering we endure here. then
we'll have our good dreams, that we may have held all our lives, come true,
and we'll be with Jesus. God gave His Son so that we can have all this! In
the meantime, have a Merry Christmas anyway, as The Lord enables you, and
look forward to exciting times on the new Earth!
Sharon
