We all live for the next fun and exciting happening, whether it is vacation, or a short getaway, anything that causes bag packing and shortness of breath. I'm in the midst of packing for a short getaway with Jody and my friends, Betti and Lynn. I find myself thinking about the trip, anticipating how much fun it will be, what we will do, where we will go, what we will eat, and being away from a normal routine. What if I, in my normal life, thought as much about heaven? The ultimate getaway, and a place I don't even have to pack clothes for? Who will I see? What will I see?
Wait. I'm still alive. Its hard to anticipate for heaven. No one has had a trip there and back again, I guess that is why it is the ultimate go to. But, my soul says, you must still be ready, even though you don't need to pack, you will be leaving town, you need to prepare for the trip. And since we are all in stand by you could leave tomorrow!
Oh Lord God, let me always be ready for my final trip and please dear Lord let it be Heaven. Amen
