Heaven on Earth

Wednesday, August 8, 2012

I recently started reading a new blog: Photobucket



Whenever I start reading a new blog, I get voracious.  I read as much as I can before I have to close my laptop and drag myself up to bed.  

One of the posts that really got me thinking, was Casey's post on Heaven.  I admit that the whole idea that we are not in Heaven does have a bit of a "duh" factor to it, but I've found that when you allow a thought to marinate in your brain a bit, you start to see things in a whole new way.

A week or so after reading her post, I suddenly had my own Heaven moment.  I was in my car, headed to the store, when I was overwhelmed with how beautiful the sky was.  Driving down the street, I saw kids playing and a couple walking their dog.  The weather was gorgeous, and I couldn't help thinking that the moment was just perfect. 

Suddenly, I felt a little zing.  It hit me that although that moment may have looked perfect, it really wasn't.  

We may have seemingly perfects days, hours, or minutes, but that period of time is just a tiny glimpse of what true perfection will be.

It kind of takes your breath away when you realize that it's only a peek of what forever will be like.
