We were watching Big Cat Diary on Animal Planet. I like animals anyway, but lions have always been my favorite. These big cats are just amazing. Watching those leopards carry a dead animal up a tree, with what seems to be little to no extra effort. Just amazing!! But still have to maintain a Respectful distance from them.

When we go to heaven, (Isaiah 65:20) the new heaven and the new earth, and the animals will live together and all will eat straw, will so awsome! Besides getting to see God all of the time, we'll be able to be up close/next to these animals without any concern because they won't eat meat anymore. That is going to be so cool!

Heaven is going to be so awesome!!!

There will be no tears in heaven. The Bible says that He will wipe away all our tears. It is hard to imagine there being no tears. No sorrow or pain, yes, but no tears....  You've heard the phrase Tears of Joy, well it is hard to imagine there being no tears at the overwhelming joy of seeing Him face-to-face!

I suppose, though, that is one reason why we'll get new bodies in heaven...to have bodies that can take in the unlimited joy of seeing the Father & Son face-to-face! And, you know that heaven will be so much more.

But, as awesome as heaven will be, I think, that seeing the Father the Son face-to-face will be the very best thing about heaven!

John 14:2, Jesus says that in His Father's house there are many mansions.

 I watched a show on (I think it was on) HGTV one time, a few years ago, that was called Extreme Mansions (I think). They showed these houses in all kinds of shapes; there was one that was a beach house shaped like a sea shell.

GOD knows each of us by name, and how many hairs are on our head. He knows every single detail about each of us - the good, the not-so-good, and the bad. Think about a mansion for each of us who are written in the Book of Life, thinking along the lines of that show...  maybe GOD has prepared personalized mansions for each of us. A mansion shaped and designed specifically with you in mind, and fits your exact taste & likes down to the last detail. Just imagine! What do you think your mansion would look like. What do you think it will be made of (remember, the streets are paved with gold), and with GOD there are no limits to what can be done.

We'll never even come close to imagining what it will actually be like, but it's still enjoyable to think about it. And just think, in Heaven, we'll know everyone and all be friends; no matter who your neighbors are, they'll be good neighbors.

I think that one of most awesome things about heaven is that, as awesome as we can imagine it being - it will still be far better. (Isaiah 64:4, 1 Corinthians 2:9 - No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind conceived what God has prepared for those who love Him. NIV) And, Paul said, in 2 Corinthians, "So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." (NIV) So, not only is going to more awesome than the absolute best we can imagine, it's gonna be forever! And, we will get to see GOD all of the time!!

[Two important things to remember about Heaven...1 is to keep your eyes on the prize, as Paul said in, Philippians 3:14, "I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus." (NIV) We must go through this life as though we are running a race to win a prize, and the prize is Heaven. And, 2, Be very careful whom you trust, or you could be led astray, as Paul says in, Colossians 2:18, "Do not let anyone who delights in false humility and the worship of angels disqualify you for the prize. Such a person goes into great detail about what he has seen, and his unspiritual mind puffs him up with idle notions."]

My dad still has vinyl records, we listened to them when I was growing up. One of the albums is, The Very Best of The Very Best of Bill Gaither Trio for Kids. One of the songs is called The Won't Be's in Heaven. (I really like that song, but I can't find it anywhere anymore.) It's a fun way to think about the types of things that will be and won't be in Heaven. For example, there won't be colds, flus, homework, and bills I can't pay.

I just cannot imagine any person that has given their lives to GOD, really thinking about Heaven, what it's going to be, and getting to see GOD all the time, and not smiling and being happy - no matter what is going on in this world or in their lives...Because GOD promised that everything we go through will be worth it all! "You will surely forget your trouble, recalling it only as waters gone by. Life will be brighter than noonday, and darkness will become like morning." Job 11: 16 - 17 (NIV)

I will share my thoughts and imaginings of heaven from time to time, and try not to get too carried away with it, but it just gets me so excited - to get to see GOD all the time, and to see Jesus, sit next to Him and talk to Him just to pass time (time that will never come to an end)!! That's pretty awesome just by itself & there is so much more that heaven will be.
