Something to ponder from Randy Alcorn's "Heaven"
The best of life on Earth is a glimpse of Heaven; the worst of life is a glimpse of Hell. For Christians, this present life is the closest they will come to Hell. For unbelievers, it is the closest they will come to Heaven.
The best of life on Earth...
Being surrounded by family and friends....enjoying and belonging
Standing at the top of a mountain, seeing God's beauty and breathing in crisp, clean air
The center of a hot Cinnabon cinnamon roll
Slobbery kisses from a sweet little baby or a precious princess or a big, sweaty boy
Hearing your name spoken with love and unconditional acceptance
A deep tissue body massage
Having the freedom to let the kids play, out of my sight, without fear
Pure Joy and Knee-slappin' laughter
Stress-free, purposeful, productive, peaceful days
Love Love Love Love Love
The worst of life on earth....

Who do you love too much to let go this direction?
Contrary to what the world believes, the default after-life destination is not heaven.
Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. Matthew 7:13-14
Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." John 14:6
