A dream of Heaven

John sees into the future, from Revelation 1, 5, 21, 22
I see a throne. And on the throne is a king. And the King is Jesus. All around the throne people are bowing down. They are giving Him their treasures.

There are loud cheers and clapping, clapping and bright laughter like a thousand waterfalls and everyone bursts out singing a new song......

"This is our King! The Lamb who died, so we don't have to -- our Rescuer. All Honor and Glory! Forever and ever." And every creature everywhere, in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, joins in.

And then

From all around

A wide

Immense

Beautiful

Silence

And I see Satan - God's horrible enemy - thrown down, defeated.

I see a sparkling city shimmering in the sky: glittering, glowing - coming down! From heaven and from the sky. Heaven is coming down to earth!

God's city is beautiful. Walls of topaz, jasper, sapphire. Wide streets paved with gold. Gleaming pearl gates that are never locked shut.

Where is the sun? Where is the moon? They aren't needed anymore. God is all the Light people need. No more darkness! No more night!

And the King says, "Look! God and His children are together again. No more running away. Or hiding. No more crying or being lonely or afraid. No more being sick or dying. Because all those things are gone. Yes, they're gone forever. Everything sad has come untrue. And see - I have wiped away every tear from every eye!"

And then a deep, beautiful voice that sounded like thunder in the sky says, "Look, I am making everything new!"

Waiting here for You

"I love the Lord because he hears my voice and my prayer for mercy. Because he bends down to listen, I will pray as long as I have breath!" Psalm 116:1-2"The Lord cares deeply when his loved ones die." Psalm 116:15

We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone; for part of us went with you, the day God called you home.

You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide; and though we cannot see you, you are always at our side. Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same; but as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.

The Broken Chain. Author: Ron Tranmer

Whenever I am troubled and lost in deep despair, I bundle all my troubles up and go to God in prayer ... I know He stilled the tempest and calmed the angry sea, and I humbly ask if, in His love, He'll do the same for me....And then I just keep quiet and think only thoughts of peace, and as I abide in stillness my restless murmurings cease.

Author: Helen Steiner Rice"Bend down, O Lord, and hear my prayer; answer me, for I need your help. Protect me, for I am devoted to you. Save me, for I serve you and trust you. You are my God." Psalm 86:1-2

My Journal Entry: 1/2/11

My birthday present from God! A dream with Carter in it!! The boys were getting their cub scout shirts on. I was buttoning Bradley's shirt, as the boys were going on a fishing adventure with the cubs. Carter had not packed his fishing pole. Another scout, Carter's friend Ezra, had about six fishing poles and offered one of them to Carter. This fishing pole was not going to work because Carter wanted his fishing pole. I got frustrated because I didn't want to go back home, so I said, "Carter, just use one of his poles..." By the look on Carter's face, he wanted his fishing pole. Then I woke up and was so happy God brought this dream to me. This dream was an ordinary day for our family prior to the accident, and it felt wonderful to be there again. Thank you God!! I love You!! I was at peace today -- I live for the future --"Heaven is better"!
