I want to study more about my future abode in heaven. There are more and more people in heaven now than when I was younger. I look forward to meeting them again, but what honestly sounds the sweetest to me is that God promises to live with us there.
At last, our climb leader shouted in the thin air, absorbing his voice so it sounded like a whisper declared, "Congratulations! You've made it to the top!"
The ship is fully decorated for Christmas. As we walk the many areas of the ship, we see people laughing and eating. They seem to be enjoying the Christmas season. Yet sometimes, just under the surface is grief. Sadness.
What about you? Are you in pain, or so sick you almost wished you would die to be relieved of the pain and discomfort? Are you watching someone who is ill or in a severe depression? This may be a gift from God...
When helping someone who is grieving, just come alongside them. Don't try to give words of wisdom. The griever just needs someone to be with them.
The gospels tell about angels appearing to ordinary people, like Mary and Joseph. The apostle Peter. And Jesus in the desert.

Sometimes we get off track in our lives, too. We get distracted by little things that keep us from finding the right destination.
