After another long, long winter full of nasty Ohio weather, all I can say is...I actually miss Minnesota's winter. It may be cold and horrible, but I know what weather is coming, and we get the sun.
Today it is 60 degrees outside and surprise surprise it's raining here in the second cloudiest city in the country. But hey...it's 60 degrees so I'm not complaining. Still, that doesn't mean I don't long for the sun and warmth and to play outside with no shoes on. That's all I want right now. Summer and home. They're good for the soul. I think heaven will be a lot like that. You know, like going home to green grass, blue lakes, and a lot of love after a long winter far away.
Here's the gist of what I think heaven will look like. There will be a new heaven and a new earth, just like the bible says, and the new earth will be perfect again. All of the beauty, none of the bite. No mosquitoes (like a dream come true right!). No frostbite. The snow will be beautiful but not cold. And the grass will be green but not itchy. The trees will bloom in the winter and the sun will shine forever and never give us squinting headaches. I could swim during a thunderstorm in our pure lakes! Lighting will no longer destroy, but only awe. This is the kind of world God always meant us to live in. I don't have a lot of answers for things, because I'm still little. But I can promise you this...Heaven is worth the wait and the suffering through our literal and metaphorical winters and dark nights, because it will be all we could ever imagine and more. We'll be with our Daddy, Savior, Lover, best Friend, and Peace forever. (And I know the bible says there won't be any more marriage or whatever, but I'm still going to insist on believing that I'll spend all of eternity with my future hubs and loved ones too, because after all...I'm only human.)
