Heaven | Exceptionalistic

What do you imagine Heaven to be like? Is it your perfect day all the time? Can you do whatever you want? Can you play video games all the time (as my oldest has asked numerous times)? Is there someone you hope to see again?

There are so many questions. When I look to the sky I constantly wonder if my grandparents can see me. If they are watching over my angel babies.

Does anyone else just love Mercy Me? I can’t get enough of this song, although it moves me to tears by the end.

The lyrics, oh my, the lyrics. Does anyone else get goosebumps when this song comes on the radio? We listen to our local Christian station most of the day. When this song comes on I stop whatever I’m doing and just listen. I feel as though I’m basking in His love right then and there.

They have it exactly right. We can only imagine it. According to 1 Corinthians our minds can’t even conceive how amazing it is!!

I leave you with the lyrics so you can start imagining!!

I can only imagine
What it will be like
When I walk
By Your side

I can only imagine
What my eyes will see
When Your face
Is before me

I can only imagine
I can only imagine

[Chorus:]
Surrounded by Your glory, what will my heart feel
Will I dance for You Jesus or in awe of you be still
Will I stand in Your presence or to my knees will I fall
Will I sing hallelujah, will I be able to speak at all

I can only imagine
I can only imagine

I can only imagine
When that day comes
And I find myself
Standing in the sun

I can only imagine
When all I will do
Is forever
Forever worship You

Last night reminded me to take the time to listen. If I had been too busy I would have missed one of the most amazing moments I’ve ever experienced.

We went to the nursing home to see my husband’s grandma for her 89th birthday. We brought home the balloons from the party. We were late, the kids were tired and it was way past bedtime.

Trying to get the kids out of the car and up to bed an hour past bedtime is tough. We were tired and ready to relax. The kids wanted to let the balloons fly up in the air. We stopped and took 10 minutes to do this. It was SO worth it!! The Big One said to me that he was sending these balloons to heaven for great nana. My grandmother passed 2 years ago. I still can’t believe he remembers her! Hearing him call up to heaven ‘Jesus can you make sure that these balloons get to great nana’ instantly made me tear up. This morning he immediately asked if I thought she would have the balloons by now. Of course she has them and she loves them is what I told him.

If I had cut him off, not allowing him to tell me what he wanted to do I would have missed one of the sweetest moment I’ve experienced as a parent.

I found this on Spiritually Speaking. It is perfect as a reminder to listen and take the time.
