"But as it is written, eye hath not seen, ear
hath not heard, neither have entered into
the heart of man, the things which God hath
prepared for them that love him."
----- 1 Corinthians 2.9

O WHAT COULD BE WAITING THERE...
CAN WE IMAGINE---BETTER THAN----
Purple mountain majesties
Soaring white clouds, blue summer sky
Cold, clear, gurgling mountain streams
A jumping rainbow trout
Shimmering golden aspens on a fall day
Red oaks in October
Dogs jumping for frisbees
The neighborhood-filling smell of a grill
The soothing sound of a classical guitar
A mother duck, followed by five ducklings
Little beagle and golden retriever puppies
The lonesome sound of a harmonica
A pond with cattails
Baby chicks and old pickup trucks
Robins red-breast and Blue Jays
Ten thousand other beautiful birds
Summer and boys fishing in the old creek
A church picnic at the park
Roses, daisies, geraniums, and poinsettias
Fried chicken and deviled eggs
Quilts and bacon
Rain, wind and snow...cold winter nights
Hot cup of tomato soup by the fireside
Bacon and pancakes...breakfast, Aunt Sally's
Thanksgiving turkey and dressing-Grandma's
A cold drink from a spring
Rocking on the front porch at twilight
Gardens full of vegetables
Farm cellars, with canned jellies and veggies
Sitting and musing by an old windmill
A mature wheat field of golden grain
A male choir, singing four-part music
An A Cappella Choir
A bologna san with tomato slices
Green chilis
Tidy front bedrooms in old farmhouses
Traumerei
Hearing someone yodel
Stephen Foster's melodies
Robert Shaw Chorale
Sissel singing "O Holy Night"
The companionship of a spouse
Holding a child's hand
Hearing "Eternal Father, Strong to Save"
The FLAG
Loyal friends
Hamburgers
Norman Rockwell's paintings
**************
Yes, what else could be waiting there....
unseen, unheard, and unimagined?
"How beautiful heaven must be!...
sweet home of the happy and free,
These truths in God's word He has given,
How beautiful heaven must be."
(Old Gospel song)
***************
"And God shall wipe away all tears from
their eyes...and there shall be no more
death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither
shall there be any more pain,
for the former things are passed away."
