Heaven, thing about it....

Kathleen Norris shares a Benedictine sister's concept of heaven. To reassure her dying mother she stated: "In heaven, everyone we love is there." The older woman replied: "No, in heaven I will love everyone who's there."

Let us sing alleluia here on earth, while we still live in anxiety, so that we may sing it one day in heaven in ful security...We shall have no enemies in heaven, we shall never lose a friend. God's praises are sung both there and here, but here they are sung in anxiety, ther in security; here they are sung by those destined to die, there, by those destined to live forever; here they are sung in hope, there in hope's fulfillment; here, they are sung by wayfarers, ther, by those living in their own country. So then...let us sing now, not in order to enjoy a life of leisure, but in order to lighten our labours. You should sing as wayfarers do - sing but continue your journey...Sing then, but keep going.

Augustine

On earth as it is in Heaven - a present, and future and eternal hope. THINK ABOUT IT.
