Showing posts with the label heaven

A heavenly perspective

Reaching toward heaven I was trying to get a different perspective taking nature shots. I had looked up to see this mass of white clouds hovering above bare tree branches. The branches looked like arms and fingers reaching up toward heaven. The clouds reminded me of something like  Exodus 13:21    where God's presence was with the Israelite s, guiding them. God takes care of all those who put their trust in His Son, Jesus. I have trusted Him in seeing me through my mom's death, an arrest, transitioning from one treatment facility to another and more recently, some neighbors treating Saturday nights as their own personal 4th of July. I still feel pain. I am tempted to doubt and catch myself self loathing. I keep praying .  I know nothing lasts forever. I look forward to eternity with God and my Christian loved ones who are there already. I hope you will come to know Jesus and accept Him as both your Lord as well as your Savior. Amen! ...

The Key

She lay in the darkness unable to speak or move. Suddenly, there shown a warm light all around her and a key appeared.  "Take this," He said.  She reached out, hesitant at first. "This is the key that unlocks the gate and it is your time to pass through." So, by His grace, she took it, unlocked the gate and stepped into eternity. For my mother, Ruth Anne 1939-2014, Awesome autism mom pioneer, advocate and example of true Christian compassion. A tough act for me to follow sometimes! This is a figurative, not literal account of a person going to heaven. It is for poetic effect. All you need is faith in Christ to get into heaven :)
