WHY WE NEED ETERNITY?

There is never enough time ....
Missed opportunities.

Too many of them….
Funerals we couldn’t attend.
Conversations never finished
or much more significant:
conversations we should have had.
Lots of questions,
especially, “What ever happened
to what’s her or his name?”
Forgiveness – with an eventual end
to every “I’m sorry for ….” as well as

forgiving those who trespassed against us.
A chance for a zillion tears and laughs.
Healings. Many healings….
Surprises – that bring laughter
and many a big, “O my God!”

And then God - will it be

the big wedding banquet

with God at the big table

and on the dance floor

dressed quests galore

or will it be walks with God

in a garden

in the cool of the evening?

I'm dying to find out...

but not yet!
