Heavenly

I don't know exactly how everything works in Heaven. Suffice it to say I've never been there and I don't place a lot of stock in those who claim to have been. I just can't imagine having a glimpse of heaven and then coming back to earth like it's no big deal. Does not compute.

Anyway.

I can't wait for Jesus to return. I know there's work left to do. I know we're still here for a reason. But, when the time is right-I'm ready to go.

I like to think all of Heaven waits in joyful anticipation of that day. I think from the moment Jesus returned to Heaven the angels and beings looked to Him to go back, this time for the final time, this time for the ultimate victory. Since they live out of the space time continuum in some aspects they are already there at the last battle-mind boggling.

I don't know what kind of conversations take place in Heaven but I like to think there are some fabulous interactions there.

I know no one knows the hour or the day He will return, but I like to think they have some kind of idea of the time frame. Like the other night when there was a harvest moon and the next one will be in 2022. Like maybe Jesus leaned over to Abraham and said, "You see the moon? You know how the next one is in several years? Not going to happen. They'll be home by then." And they both smile knowing how amazing that will be.

I like to think when the angels sit down for a cup of coffee with Jesus he says to them, "You know Christmas 2040? Don't make plans. By then we're going to have A LOT of company!! Best Christmas ever!"

I like to think about it, but I can't imagine.

Until then-Live for Him.

Really? No harvest moon until 2022?

Or maybe ever?

Can you imagine Christmas in heaven?
