WHEN  WE  DIE

 

When we die, I'm assuming there's
more to come.  How about your thoughts?
What's your forever?  Is it nothing
or do you see a forever more something?

If it’s a something: what’s your
assumption?  Is it an infinity –
a divinity – or the Trinity – an
eternity  based  on your hopes?

 
I’m dying with Jesus’ images about
the Eternal Welcome in Luke  15. I’m
assuming there will be a continuing
personal relationship with God.
 
I’m  assuming we  finally arrive
after a long walk on the shoulders
of the Laughing Shepherd  into the
big open pen called Heaven.
 
I’m assuming I’ll be like a lost coin
found in dark corner – under a bed
or a bureau that God the Woman will
shine me up and show me off to everyone.
 
I’m assuming I be like the lost son
welcomed home by God the Running
to Greet me Father who will welcome me 
and hug me and banquet me forever.
