I have been thinking a lot about Heaven this week!
Not in that weird, as if I was going to die tomorrow way, but that He just might be coming back SOON! Well, as I was talking to my mom the other day, she told me this story of my great-grandmother Lucy..................
Mama Lucy always kept a suitcase packed in her bathroom, so she could be ready in a moments notice to go on her next adventure. All one had to do was drop by and say do you want to go where ever and she could be ready in two minutes! My mom and I both agreed that this is probably why she lived to 94, because she was always READY.
The more I have thought on this story, the more I realize that this is the way we are to live, daily expecting the coming of the Lord. I can say I am looking for Him, I can spend time with Him daily, and I teach my children all about the things in His Word, but do I really have my suitcase packed by the door? Am I really expecting Him in a few minutes, tomorrow, or next week?
Probably not!!!!
I have so many things that need to be done before............
Before what?
Not anymore!!!!!!!!!!!
Mama Lucy, my suitcase is packed...............
See you on the right side of the throne SOON!!!!
