If you’ve followed my blog for a week or more,
You know that I attend the Presbyterian Church
in Ennis, Montana each Sunday, and I take sermon notes.
I take them in poetry – that’s just the way my brain
filters the message as I hear it.
It helps me listen, and remember,
and share with Bob when we get home.
Today’s sermon by our pastor, Rev. Steve Hundley, was
titled, “What is Heaven Like?”
Here’s my take-away on it:
If Heaven is as it should be,
Then I’m gonna sit on the bank
Of a beautiful river with my rod
And thank God for every yank.
But I know Heaven is beyond
My wildest imagination.
I know it’ll be flowing with life,
With no death, tears or stagnation.
I’m gonna ask God for help to
Understand what Heaven is like;
And since I have a Harley here,
I’m gonna ask if I’ll have my bike.
I’m gonna ask God for help to
Understand how I’ll recognize
The loved ones who went before me.
Will I know ’em when I look in their eyes?
Our Bible assures us that we
Will experience joy beyond bounds,
So I’m sure I’ll know the angels
Who’ll welcome me with glorious sounds.
I know I’ll be healed and whole
In Eternity with those I love.
So, Heaven will be as it should be
When I join my Lord in Heaven above.
When I get to Heaven, I’m gonna
Run and leap like a frisky deer.
So, when I leave this earth, friends,
Don’t weep, don’t cry; Take joy and cheer!
It’ll be Thanksgiving
with all our loved ones gathered ’round,
and it’ll feel like a Homecoming!
Hah!
See ya tomorrow.

Thank you, Bernice! <3
Wonderful poem visual to end my day. Hope I dream of heaven tonite.
Did you!?
I remembered this morning…no heaven dreams, but a peaceful restful one, thank God. Hope you are having a wonderful day.
Quiet, peaceful… yes!
I so hope you are right!
John 14:1-3 says Jesus is in heaven preparing a place for us to live. I heaven, those saved by God will have new bodies without the curse if sin! There will be no one who is blind, deaf, or lame in heaven. Isaiah 35:5,6 and Phil. 3:21). Rev. 21:4 says “And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there will be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain…” Yes, I believe!
